The structure described by HoMo6Se8 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Se(1) and six equivalent Se(2) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Se(1) and four equivalent Se(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1) and three equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second Se site, Se(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1) and four equivalent Mo(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
