The material structure described by Hf5CoSn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Hf sites. In the first Hf site, Hf(1) is bonded to two equivalent Co(1) and five equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing HfCo2Sn5 pentagonal bipyramids. In the second Hf site, Hf(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent Hf(1) atoms to form face-sharing CoHf6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Hf(2) and five equivalent Hf(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
