The compound described by HoPdGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. There are three inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1), three equivalent Pd(2), three equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(2), four equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Ho site, Ho(3) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), four equivalent Pd(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ho(3), two equivalent Ho(2), three equivalent Ho(1), one Pd(1), one Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ho(2), two equivalent Ho(3), three equivalent Ho(1), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ho(3), two equivalent Ho(2), three equivalent Ho(1), one Pd(1), and three equivalent Pd(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ho(2), two equivalent Ho(3), three equivalent Ho(1), one Pd(2), two equivalent Pd(1), and one Ge(2) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
