The compound described by K3HoV2O8 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. There are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second K site, K(2) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent O(2) atoms. Ho(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(2) atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra. 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. 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 K(1) and one V(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K(2), two equivalent K(1), one Ho(1), and one V(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
