The compound described by MgPmS3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted MgS6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pm(1)S6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with three equivalent Mg(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Pm(1)S6 pentagonal pyramids. Pm(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted PmS6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)S6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Mg(1)S6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Pm(1)S6 pentagonal pyramid, and  a faceface with one Pm(1)S6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 39-49°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Pm(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Pm(1) atoms to form edge-sharing SPm2Mg2 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
