The crystal structure described by Mg2Hg is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hg(1) atoms. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hg(1) atoms. Hg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mg(1) and five equivalent Mg(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
