PuHg3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Pu(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Hg(2) and eight equivalent Hg(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Hg sites. In the first Hg site, Hg(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Pu(1) and four equivalent Hg(2) atoms. In the second Hg site, Hg(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pu(1) and eight equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
