The material described by Mg2CrCo3S8 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to one S(1), one S(3), and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form MgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Co(1)S6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent Co(2)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 60-62°. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form CrS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Co(2)S6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(3) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form CoS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Co(2)S6 octahedra. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms to form CoS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(2)S6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to one Mg(1), one Cr(1), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms to form distorted SMgCrCo2 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent S(3)MgCo3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent S(1)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent S(2)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one S(3)MgCo3 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent S(2)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to one Mg(1), one Cr(1), one Co(1), and one Co(2) atom to form distorted SMgCrCo2 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent S(3)MgCo3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent S(1)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent S(2)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one S(3)MgCo3 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one S(1)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one S(2)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to one Mg(1), one Co(1), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms to form SMgCo3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent S(3)MgCo3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent S(1)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent S(2)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one S(1)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent S(2)MgCrCo2 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
