The compound described by MgSnF6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form MgF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sn(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form SnF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. F(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg(1) and one Sn(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
