The material structure described by LiHoSn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho(1), one Sn(1), and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms. Ho(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), four equivalent Sn(2), and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Li(1) and six equivalent Ho(1) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SnLi4Ho4 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
