The compound described by Ho3Pd4Ge4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ge(1) and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing HoGe6 octahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to 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 9-coordinate geometry to one Ho(2), two equivalent Ho(1), and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(2), four equivalent Ho(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and one Ge(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
