HfRuGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ru(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1) and three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hf(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
HfRuGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ru(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and four longer (3.06 Å) Hf(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths. The Hf(1)-Ge(2) bond length is 2.79 Å. All Hf(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Both Ru(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. Both Ru(1)-Ge(2) bond lengths are 2.49 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1) and three equivalent Ru(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hf(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms.
