HoTa3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Ta(2) and eight equivalent Ta(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ta sites. In the first Ta site, Ta(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ho(1) and four equivalent Ta(2) atoms. In the second Ta site, Ta(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho(1) and eight equivalent Ta(1) atoms.
