The crystal structure described by Hf3Hg 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 Hg(1) atoms to form distorted HfHf8Hg4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Hg4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Hg4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Hg(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Hg(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Hg4 cuboctahedra. In the second Hf site, Hf(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to eight equivalent Hf(1) and four equivalent Hg(1) atoms. Hg(1) is bonded to four equivalent Hf(2) and eight equivalent Hf(1) atoms to form HgHf12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Hg(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Hg(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Hg4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Hg(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Hg4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
