HoCrTeO6 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31c space group. Ho(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ho(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 42-59°. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Ho(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ho(1), one Cr(1), and one Te(1) atom.
