title: Holmium dodeca-iodidoiron-octa-hedro-hexa-holmium, {FeHo(6)}I(12)Ho.
abstract: Single crystals of {FeHo(6)}I(12)Ho were obtained during the reaction of HoI(3) with metallic holmium and iron in a sealed tantalum container. The crystal structure consists of isolated holmium clusters encapsulating a single Fe atom, {FeHo(6)} ( symmetry). The rare earth metal atoms are surrounded by 12 edge-capping and six terminal iodide ligands that either connect the clusters to each other directly or via HoI(6) octa-hedra ( symmetry).
