The structure described by KMg6Sn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. K(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(4), four equivalent Mg(1), four equivalent Mg(2), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing KMg10Sn2 cuboctahedra. There are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(3), two equivalent Mg(4), and one Sn(1) atom. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), one Mg(4), two equivalent Mg(1), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(4), four equivalent Mg(1), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(3), and four equivalent Mg(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(3), and four equivalent Mg(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
