Hf3Ni is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Hf(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Hf(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form distorted HfHf8Ni4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Ni4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Ni(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Ni4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ni(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Ni4 cuboctahedra. Ni(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hf(1) atoms to form NiHf12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Ni4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ni(1)Hf12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Hf(1)Hf8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
