The structure described by Rb3HoV2O8 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. There are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one O(1) and nine equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Rb site, Rb(2) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms to form RbO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Rb(2)O12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra, and faces with two equivalent Ho(1)O6 octahedra. Ho(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(2) atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and faces with two equivalent Rb(2)O12 cuboctahedra. V(1) is bonded to one O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ho(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Rb(2)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 16°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Rb(1), three equivalent Rb(2), and one V(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Rb(2), three equivalent Rb(1), one Ho(1), and one V(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
