The crystal structure described by HoAl3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ho(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing HoAl12 cuboctahedra. Al(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho(1) and six equivalent Al(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
