SrHo2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sr(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded to one O(4), two equivalent O(3), and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-63°. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(4), and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-63°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sr(1) and three equivalent Ho(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OSr2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Sr(1) and three equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSr2Ho3 square pyramids. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to two equivalent Sr(1), one Ho(2), and two equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OSr2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr(1), one Ho(1), and two equivalent Ho(2) atoms.
SrHo2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sr(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. Both Sr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Both Sr(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.60 Å. There is one shorter (2.75 Å) and one longer (2.86 Å) Sr(1)-O(3) bond length. Both Sr(1)-O(4) bond lengths are 2.72 Å. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded to one O(4), two equivalent O(3), and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HoO6 octahedra.
