MgHoSn crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Ho(1) is bonded to five equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing HoSn5 square pyramids. Sn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and five equivalent Ho(1) atoms.
MgHoSn crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. All Mg(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Ho(1) is bonded to five equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing HoSn5 square pyramids. There is one shorter (3.11 Å) and four longer (3.13 Å) Ho(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths. Sn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and five equivalent Ho(1) atoms.
