The material structure described by HfPdGe crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. There are three inequivalent Hf sites. In the first Hf site, Hf(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1), three equivalent Pd(3), two equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Hf site, Hf(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(3), three equivalent Pd(2), two equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Hf site, Hf(3) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Pd(3), three equivalent Pd(2), one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf(3), three equivalent Hf(1), one Pd(3), two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hf(2), three equivalent Hf(3), two equivalent Pd(2), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf(2), two equivalent Hf(3), three equivalent Hf(1), one Pd(1), one Ge(1), one Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf(3), three equivalent Hf(2), one Pd(3), and three equivalent Pd(2) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf(1), two equivalent Hf(2), two equivalent Hf(3), one Pd(1), one Pd(2), and one Pd(3) atom.
