The material described by Ho3Nd is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded to eight Ho(1,1) and four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form HoNd4Ho8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; corners with fourteen Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra; edges with six equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; edges with twelve Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra; faces with four equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; and faces with sixteen Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra. In the second Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ho(1) and four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form HoNd4Ho8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; corners with fourteen Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra; edges with six equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; edges with twelve equivalent Ho(1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra; faces with four equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; and faces with sixteen Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra. Nd(1) is bonded to twelve Ho(1,1) atoms to form NdHo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; corners with twelve Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra; edges with eighteen Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra; faces with eight equivalent Nd(1)Ho12 cuboctahedra; and faces with twelve Ho(1,1)Nd4Ho8 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
