HoSO crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) and one S(1) atom to form distorted SHo4S trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent S(1)Ho4S trigonal bipyramids. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form OHo4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent S(1)Ho4S trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent S(1)Ho4S trigonal bipyramids.
HoSO crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.99 Å) and two longer (3.00 Å) Ho(1)-S(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.22 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) Ho(1)-O(1) bond lengths. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) and one S(1) atom to form distorted SHo4S trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent S(1)Ho4S trigonal bipyramids. The S(1)-S(1) bond length is 2.08 Å. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form OHo4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent S(1)Ho4S trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent S(1)Ho4S trigonal bipyramids.
