The compound described by HoGe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and five equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
