The compound described by Ho2Mn12P7 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent P(1) and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to one P(1), one P(3), and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. In the third Mn site, Mn(3) is bonded to two equivalent P(1) and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. In the fourth Mn site, Mn(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one P(2), two equivalent P(1), and two equivalent P(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(2), one Mn(2), two equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Mn(3), and two equivalent Mn(4) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), one Mn(4), two equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Mn(2), and two equivalent Mn(3) atoms. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mn(2) and six equivalent Mn(4) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
