The compound described by BaMgMn4O8 crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Mn(1)O4 tetrahedra, and faces with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mn(1)O4 tetrahedra and faces with two equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. Mn(1) is bonded to one O(2) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form MnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Mn(1)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ba(1), one Mg(1), and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OBaMgMn2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
