The structure described by Ho6Mn23 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mn(1), four equivalent Mn(2), and four equivalent Mn(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(4) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Mn(3) atoms. In the second Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent Ho(1), three equivalent Mn(1), three equivalent Mn(2), and three equivalent Mn(3) atoms. In the third Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1), four equivalent Mn(1), and four equivalent Mn(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing MnHo4Mn8 cuboctahedra. In the fourth Mn site, Mn(3) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho(1), one Mn(4), three equivalent Mn(1), three equivalent Mn(2), and three equivalent Mn(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
