The compound described by MgLaS3 is Ilmenite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form MgS6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent La(1)S6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Mg(1)S6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one La(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-63°. La(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted LaS6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Mg(1)S6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent La(1)S6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Mg(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-63°. S(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent La(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
