The Ho(1,2)-Pd(3,4) bond length is 1.00 Å. The Ho(1,2)-Ge(7,8) bond length is 1.45 Å. Pd(3,4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1,2); one Pd(3,4); and one Ge(7,8) atom. The Pd(3,4)-Pd(3,4) bond length is 0.28 Å. The Pd(3,4)-Ge(7,8) bond length is 1.36 Å. Ge(7,8) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ho(1,2) and one Pd(3,4) atom. In one of the HoPdGe clusters, there are six inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) and one Ge(6) atom.
