The crystal structure described by CsHo3Te5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Te(1), two equivalent Te(2), two equivalent Te(3), and two equivalent Te(4) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded to one Te(1), one Te(4), two equivalent Te(3), and two equivalent Te(5) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HoTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-11°. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded to one Te(2), one Te(3), two equivalent Te(4), and two equivalent Te(5) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HoTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. In the third Ho site, Ho(3) is bonded to one Te(5), two equivalent Te(2), and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HoTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 11°. There are five inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(5) is bonded to one Ho(3), two equivalent Ho(1), and two equivalent Ho(2) atoms to form TeHo5 square pyramids that share  a cornercorner with one Te(1)CsHo4 trigonal bipyramid, corners with four equivalent Te(3)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent Te(4)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Te(5)Ho5 square pyramids,  an edgeedge with one Te(3)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramid,  an edgeedge with one Te(4)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramid, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)CsHo4 trigonal bipyramids. In the second Te site, Te(1) is bonded to one Cs(1), one Ho(1), and three equivalent Ho(3) atoms to form distorted TeCsHo4 trigonal bipyramids that share  a cornercorner with one Te(5)Ho5 square pyramid, corners with two equivalent Te(1)CsHo4 trigonal bipyramids, corners with three equivalent Te(4)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Te(5)Ho5 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent Te(3)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)CsHo4 trigonal bipyramids. In the third Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs(1), one Ho(2), and two equivalent Ho(3) atoms. In the fourth Te site, Te(3) is bonded to two equivalent Cs(1), one Ho(2), and two equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form distorted TeCs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Te(5)Ho5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent Te(4)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids,  an edgeedge with one Te(5)Ho5 square pyramid, edges with two equivalent Te(3)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Te(1)CsHo4 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with three equivalent Te(4)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids. In the fifth Te site, Te(4) is bonded to two equivalent Cs(1), one Ho(1), and two equivalent Ho(2) atoms to form distorted TeCs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Te(5)Ho5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent Te(3)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids, corners with three equivalent Te(1)CsHo4 trigonal bipyramids,  an edgeedge with one Te(5)Ho5 square pyramid, edges with two equivalent Te(4)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with three equivalent Te(3)Cs2Ho3 trigonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
