The structure described by Ho(MoO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(5), one O(8), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(7) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(3), two equivalent O(6), and two equivalent O(7) atoms. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(6), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form corner-sharing MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 23-41°. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), one O(6), and one O(7) atom to form corner-sharing MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 23-41°. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ho(2) and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ho(1), one Mo(1), and one Mo(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1), one Ho(2), one Mo(1), and one Mo(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Ho(2) and two equivalent Mo(2) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Mo(2) atoms. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ho(2), one Mo(1), and one Mo(2) atom. In the seventh O site, O(7) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1), one Ho(2), one Mo(1), and one Mo(2) atom. In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
