The compound described by MgN(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure consists of a MgN(O2Cl)3 framework. Mg(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg(1) and one Cl(2) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one N(1), one O(1), and one O(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(3) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
