The compound described by CaMg14C crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Ca(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent Mg(3) atoms to form CaMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ca(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mg(1)Ca2Mg10 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Mg(1)Ca2Mg10 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent Mg(4)Mg12 cuboctahedra. There are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ca(1), two equivalent Mg(4), four equivalent Mg(1), and four equivalent Mg(3) atoms to form distorted MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)Ca2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent Ca(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Mg(1)Ca2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Mg(4)Mg12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Ca(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Mg(4)Mg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent Mg(1)Ca2Mg10 cuboctahedra. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(4), four equivalent Mg(2), and four equivalent Mg(3) atoms. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ca(1), two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(4), and one C(1) atom. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded to three equivalent Mg(1), three equivalent Mg(2), and six equivalent Mg(3) atoms to form distorted MgMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(4)Mg12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mg(1)Ca2Mg10 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Mg(4)Mg12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent Ca(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with three equivalent Mg(1)Ca2Mg10 cuboctahedra. C(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(3) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
