The compound described by Mg(CrS2)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one S(1), one S(2), one S(3), and one S(4) atom. There are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to one S(1), one S(2), one S(3), and one S(4) atom to form corner-sharing CrS4 tetrahedra. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to one S(1), one S(2), one S(3), and one S(4) atom to form corner-sharing CrS4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Mg(1), one Cr(1), and one Cr(2) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one Cr(1), and one Cr(2) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Mg(1), one Cr(1), and one Cr(2) atom. In the fourth S site, S(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one Cr(1), and one Cr(2) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
