Pr4(HoS2)11 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded to seven S atoms to form distorted HoS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with three HoS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent HoS6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent HoS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–50°. There are a spread of Ho–S bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.88 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded to six S atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–59°. There are a spread of Ho–S bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.77 Å. In the third Ho site, Ho is bonded to six S atoms to form HoS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent HoS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent HoS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with four HoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–62°. There are a spread of Ho–S bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.79 Å. In the fourth Ho site, Ho is bonded to six S atoms to form HoS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent HoS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one HoS7 pentagonal bipyramid, edges with four equivalent HoS6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent HoS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–62°. There are a spread of Ho–S bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.77 Å. In the fifth Ho site, Ho is bonded to six S atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–59°. There are a spread of Ho–S bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.77 Å. In the sixth Ho site, Ho is bonded to six S atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 55°. There are two shorter (2.72 Å) and four longer (2.73 Å) Ho–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S atoms. There are a spread of Pr–S bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.06 Å.
