The crystal structure described by MgCo2(MoO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mo(2)O6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-53°. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Mo(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-54°. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-52°. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Mo(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-54°. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Mo(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-52°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), one Mo(1), one Co(1), and one Co(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), one Mo(2), one Co(1), and one Co(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), one Mo(1), one Mo(2), and one Co(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mo(1), one Mo(2), and one Co(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
