The compound described by Hf9Mo4P crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent Hf sites. In the first Hf site, Hf(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mo(2), three equivalent Mo(1), and one P(1) atom. In the second Hf site, Hf(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one P(1) atom. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf(2), six equivalent Hf(1), two equivalent Mo(1), and two equivalent Mo(2) atoms. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded to six equivalent Hf(1) and six equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form face-sharing MoHf6Mo6 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hf(2) and six equivalent Hf(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
