The compound described by Mg(CN)2 is beta Tridymite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2nm space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent C(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mg(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mg(1) and one C(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
