The material described by Er5CoBi2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are four inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Co(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the second Er site, Er(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Co(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the third Er site, Er(3) is bonded to one Co(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing ErCoBi4 trigonal bipyramids. In the fourth Er site, Er(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and three equivalent Bi(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to one Er(1), one Er(2), one Er(3), and four equivalent Er(4) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CoEr7 pentagonal bipyramids. Bi(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), two equivalent Er(2), two equivalent Er(3), and three equivalent Er(4) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
