The material structure described by HoS2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ho(1) and six equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing SHo6S6 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
