MgHf3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Hf(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Hf sites. In the first Hf site, Hf(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Hf(2) atoms. In the second Hf site, Hf(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Hf(1) atoms.
