The structure described by Ba2MgHoNbO6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. There are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Ba site, Ba(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), three equivalent O(2), and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Mg(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ba(2) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. Ho(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-9°. Nb(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ho(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-9°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ba(1), two equivalent Ba(2), one Ho(1), and one Nb(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Ba(2), two equivalent Ba(1), one Mg(1), one Ho(1), and one Nb(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing OBa3HoMgNb octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-60°. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
