The crystal structure described by Ba2HoTaO6 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ho(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra. Ho(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ho(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. O(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), one Ho(1), and one Ta(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
