HoNi4Cd is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ho(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiHo3Cd3Ni6 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
HoNi4Cd is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Ho(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.88 Å. All Ho(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ho(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiHo3Cd3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.43 Å) and three longer (2.48 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All Ni(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.88 Å. Cd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
