The compound described by HoNiB4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a 20-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1), eight equivalent B(1), and eight equivalent B(2) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded in a 20-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1), eight equivalent B(1), and eight equivalent B(2) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), two equivalent Ho(2), two equivalent B(1), and four equivalent B(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), two equivalent Ho(2), one Ni(1), two equivalent B(1), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), two equivalent Ho(2), two equivalent Ni(1), one B(2), and two equivalent B(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
