The material structure described by Hf3Co is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Hf sites. In the first Hf site, Hf(1) is bonded to four equivalent Hf(1), four equivalent Hf(2), and four equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted HfHf8Co4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Co4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Co4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Co(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Co(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Co4 cuboctahedra. In the second Hf site, Hf(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to eight equivalent Hf(1) and four equivalent Co(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to four equivalent Hf(2) and eight equivalent Hf(1) atoms to form CoHf12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Co(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Co4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Co(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Co4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
