The compound described by Ho5PdSb2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are four inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded to one Pd(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing HoSb4Pd square pyramids. In the third Ho site, Ho(3) is bonded to one Pd(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing HoSb4Pd trigonal bipyramids. In the fourth Ho site, Ho(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1), one Ho(2), one Ho(3), and four equivalent Ho(4) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), two equivalent Ho(2), two equivalent Ho(3), and three equivalent Ho(4) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
