The material described by Ho2Te3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HoTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HoTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Ho(2) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Ho(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
