The structure described by HoBO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and four equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(3), two equivalent O(4), and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form HoO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent Ho(2)O8 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with two equivalent B(2)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent B(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(4), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one B(1)O4 tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one B(2)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Ho(2)O8 hexagonal bipyramids. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ho(2)O8 hexagonal bipyramids and corners with two equivalent B(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), one B(1), and one B(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ho(2), two equivalent Ho(1), and one B(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ho(2), two equivalent Ho(1), and one B(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(2) and two equivalent B(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
