Ba3Ho2MoO9 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent MoO6 octahedra, and faces with five equivalent HoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.24 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent MoO6 octahedra, and faces with six equivalent HoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.25 Å. Ho3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent HoO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent MoO6 octahedra, and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–15°. There are a spread of Ho–O bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.37 Å. Mo6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent HoO6 octahedra and faces with eight BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–14°. There is four shorter (1.96 Å) and two longer (1.97 Å) Mo–O bond length. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+, one Ho3+, and one Mo6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Ho3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Ho3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+, one Ho3+, and one Mo6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+, one Ho3+, and one Mo6+ atom.
