The crystal structure described by Ho3In5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one In(1), four equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(3) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent In(1), four equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1), four equivalent Ho(2), two equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(3) atoms. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), four equivalent Ho(2), one In(1), one In(2), and two equivalent In(3) atoms. In the third In site, In(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), four equivalent Ho(2), two equivalent In(1), and two equivalent In(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
