The material structure described by MgZn2(AsO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent As(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Zn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. Zn(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share  a cornercorner with one Mg(1)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent As(1)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Mg(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one As(1)O4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Zn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. As(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form AsO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Zn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids, and  an edgeedge with one Zn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 38-55°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Mg(1), one Zn(1), and one As(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and one As(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one Zn(1), and one As(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one Zn(1), and one As(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
