The structure described by MgMn3CoO8 is beta indium sulfide-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-13°. There are two inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-13°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Mn(2) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), one Mn(1), one Mn(2), and one Co(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), two equivalent Mn(2), and one Co(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
