Materials Data on Ho2Mn12P7 by Materials Project

Ho2Mn12P7 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P atoms. All Ho–P bond lengths are 2.84 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P atoms. All Ho–P bond lengths are 2.85 Å. There are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn is bonded to four P atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.37 Å. In the second Mn site, Mn is bonded to four P atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.31 Å. In the third Mn site, Mn is bonded to four P atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.34 Å. In the fourth Mn site, Mn is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five P atoms. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.55 Å. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho and seven Mn atoms. In the second P site, P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho and seven Mn atoms. In the third P site, P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Mn atoms.
