MgHfGe2 is alpha iridium vanadium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are a spread of Mg(1)-Ge(1) bond distances ranging from 2.76-3.06 Å. Hf(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are a spread of Hf(1)-Ge(1) bond distances ranging from 2.76-3.06 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Hf(1) atoms.
