HfVGe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1) and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded to four equivalent Hf(1), four equivalent V(1), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing VHf4V4Ge4 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hf(1) and four equivalent V(1) atoms.
HfVGe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1) and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. All Hf(1)-V(1) bond lengths are 3.13 Å. There are four shorter (2.69 Å) and one longer (2.78 Å) Hf(1)-Ge(1) bond length.
