The material structure described by MgCN2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CN4 tetrahedra. N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
