The structure described by Mg6YC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(3), two equivalent Mg(4), and one Y(1) atom. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(4), four equivalent Mg(3), and two equivalent Y(1) atoms. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(2), and one C(1) atom. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(2) and four equivalent Mg(1) atoms. Y(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(2), and two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Mg(3) and two equivalent Y(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
