HfNbPd3 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Hf(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing HfPd6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There are three shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (2.88 Å) Hf(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. Nb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.71 Å) and six longer (3.46 Å) Nb(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Hf(1) and three equivalent Nb(1) atoms.
