ZrNiGe is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form NiZr4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)Zr4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Zr4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Zr4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form GeZr4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ni(1)Zr4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)Zr4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ni(1)Zr4 tetrahedra.
