The crystal structure described by LiHoW2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and eight equivalent W(1) atoms to form distorted LiLi4W8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)Li4W8 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Ho(1)Ho4W8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Ho(1)Ho4W8 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Ho(1)Ho4W8 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Li(1)Li4W8 cuboctahedra. Ho(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) and eight equivalent W(1) atoms to form distorted HoHo4W8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ho(1)Ho4W8 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Li(1)Li4W8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Li(1)Li4W8 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Li(1)Li4W8 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Ho(1)Ho4W8 cuboctahedra. W(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), four equivalent Ho(1), and four equivalent W(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
