Ho2SO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form distorted SHo6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent S(1)Ho6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with six equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form OHo4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent S(1)Ho6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with six equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent S(1)Ho6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with three equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra.
Ho2SO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. All Ho(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.87 Å. There are three shorter (2.24 Å) and one longer (2.28 Å) Ho(1)-O(1) bond length. S(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form distorted SHo6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent S(1)Ho6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with six equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form OHo4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent S(1)Ho6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with six equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent S(1)Ho6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with three equivalent O(1)Ho4 tetrahedra.
