Ho(CuO2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OHo2Cu2 tetrahedra.
Ho(CuO2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O(1) atoms. There are four shorter (2.35 Å) and four longer (2.36 Å) Ho(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Cu(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two shorter (1.87 Å) and two longer (1.89 Å) Cu(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OHo2Cu2 tetrahedra.
