HfPdGa crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62c space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Pd(2), four equivalent Pd(1), and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hf(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1) and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
HfPdGa crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62c space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Pd(2), four equivalent Pd(1), and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. The Hf(1)-Pd(2) bond length is 2.85 Å. There are two shorter (2.76 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Hf(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Hf(1)-Ga(1) bond distances ranging from 2.94-3.13 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hf(1) and six equivalent Ga(1) atoms. All Pd(2)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1) and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms. All Pd(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.65 Å. Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hf(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
