The compound described by MgHo(BiO3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(4), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. Ho(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form corner-sharing BiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-55°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Mg(1), one Ho(1), and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OHoMgBi2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), one Ho(1), and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to one Mg(1), one Ho(1), and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OHoMgBi2 tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
