HfB12 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 24-coordinate geometry to twenty-four equivalent B(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf(1) and five equivalent B(1) atoms.
HfB12 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 24-coordinate geometry to twenty-four equivalent B(1) atoms. All Hf(1)-B(1) bond lengths are 2.74 Å. B(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf(1) and five equivalent B(1) atoms. There is one shorter (1.67 Å) and four longer (1.77 Å) B(1)-B(1) bond lengths.
