description: Ho2Fe17C crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to twelve Fe and two equivalent C atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.29 Å. Both Ho–C bond lengths are 2.49 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to twenty Fe atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.19 Å. In the third Ho site, Ho is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to ten Fe and two equivalent C atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.38 Å.
