The structure described by BaMg(SbO2)4 crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Sb(1)O4 trigonal pyramids. Sb(1) is bonded to one O(2) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form SbO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Sb(1)O4 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ba(1), one Mg(1), and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OBaMgSb2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
