The crystal structure described by MgCoP2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Mg(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(5), one O(6), and one O(7) atom to form MgO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. Co(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(5), one O(6), one O(7), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Co(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and one O(7) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one P(2)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent Mg(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-54°.
