MgHoPd crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MgPd4 tetrahedra. Ho(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd(2) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(1) and three equivalent Ho(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent Ho(1) atoms.
MgHoPd crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MgPd4 tetrahedra. Both Mg(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.84 Å. Both Mg(1)-Pd(2) bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Ho(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd(2) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. The Ho(1)-Pd(2) bond length is 3.03 Å. All Ho(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 3.02 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(1) and three equivalent Ho(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent Ho(1) atoms.
