The material described by MgDy2V2O8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted MgO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra. Dy(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form VO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Mg(1)O6 octahedra and  an edgeedge with one Mg(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Mg(1), two equivalent Dy(1), and one V(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing ODy2MgV trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and one V(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), one Dy(1), and one V(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), two equivalent Dy(1), and one V(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
