HoCuP2 is Parent of FeAs superconductors-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(1) and four equivalent P(2) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CuP4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
