The structure described by HoCoNi is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ho(1), two equivalent Co(1), and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form CoHo6Co2Ni4 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Ni(1)Ho6Co4Ni2 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent Co(1)Ho6Co2Ni4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Co(1)Ho6Co2Ni4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Co(1)Ho6Co2Ni4 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Ho6Co4Ni2 cuboctahedra. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ho(1), four equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form NiHo6Co4Ni2 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Co(1)Ho6Co2Ni4 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent Ni(1)Ho6Co4Ni2 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Ni(1)Ho6Co4Ni2 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ni(1)Ho6Co4Ni2 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Co(1)Ho6Co2Ni4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
