MgO6(O5I)2 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two magnesium;dihydroxide;tetrahydrate molecules and two O5I clusters. In each O5I cluster, there are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent I(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form edge-sharing IO6 octahedra.

In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. The O(1)-I(1) bond length is 1.90 Å. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. The O(2)-I(1) bond length is 1.93 Å. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. The O(3)-I(1) bond length is 1.87 Å. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I(1) atom. The O(4)-I(1) bond length is 1.86 Å. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent I(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.01 Å) O(5)-I(1) bond length. I(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form edge-sharing IO6 octahedra.
