The material structure described by MgSn crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sn(1) and three equivalent Sn(2) atoms. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) and six equivalent Sn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(2) and six equivalent Mg(1) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) and three equivalent Mg(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
