MgSnP2 is Chalcopyrite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form MgP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)P4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Sn(1)P4 tetrahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form SnP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Sn(1)P4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Mg(1)P4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PMg2Sn2 tetrahedra.
