The structure described by Mg5Ag crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mg(1), six equivalent Mg(2), and three equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form distorted MgMg9Ag3 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Mg(1)Mg9Ag3 cuboctahedra, corners with nine equivalent Ag(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mg(1)Mg9Ag3 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Mg(2)Mg10Ag2 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent Ag(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, faces with five equivalent Mg(1)Mg9Ag3 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Mg(2)Mg10Ag2 cuboctahedra. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1), six equivalent Mg(2), and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form distorted MgMg10Ag2 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent Mg(2)Mg10Ag2 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Ag(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mg(2)Mg10Ag2 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Mg(1)Mg9Ag3 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ag(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Mg(2)Mg10Ag2 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Mg(1)Mg9Ag3 cuboctahedra.
