The compound described by Ba2MgSi2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Si(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), one Mg(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), one Mg(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
