Holmium(III) telluride is an inorganic compound, one of the tellurides of holmium, with the chemical formula Ho₂Te₃.

Preparation

Holmium(III) telluride can be obtained by reacting tellurium and holmium in a stoichiometric ratio:

2 Ho + 3 Te → Ho₂Te₃

Properties

Holmium(III) telluride can be dissolved in indium(III) telluride to form a solid solution containing HoInTe₃ phase (peritectic temperature 890 K):

Ho₂Te₃ + In₂Te₃ → 2 HoInTe₃
