The crystal structure described by HoCr2O6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form corner-sharing CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 19-41°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
