HfMnSi2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Hf4+ sites. In the first Hf4+ site, Hf4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Hf–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.88 Å. In the second Hf4+ site, Hf4+ is bonded to seven Si4- atoms to form HfSi7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent MnSi6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent HfSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with three equivalent HfSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, and faces with two equivalent MnSi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are a spread of Hf–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.81 Å. There are two inequivalent Mn4+ sites. In the first Mn4+ site, Mn4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mn–Si bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.48 Å. In the second Mn4+ site, Mn4+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form distorted MnSi6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent HfSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent MnSi6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent HfSi7 pentagonal bipyramids. All Mn–Si bond lengths are 2.45 Å. There are five inequivalent Si4- sites. In the first Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Hf4+, two equivalent Mn4+, and one Si4- atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.44 Å. In the second Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Hf4+ and two equivalent Mn4+ atoms. In the third Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five Hf4+ and four Mn4+ atoms. In the fourth Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hf4+ and four Mn4+ atoms. In the fifth Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three Hf4+, three Mn4+, and one Si4- atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.35 Å.
