MgVN2 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form MgN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent V(1)N4 tetrahedra. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form VN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Mg(1)N4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NMg2V2 tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NMg2V2 tetrahedra.
MgVN2 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form MgN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent V(1)N4 tetrahedra. Both Mg(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.09 Å. There is one shorter (2.12 Å) and one longer (2.15 Å) Mg(1)-N(2) bond length. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form VN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Mg(1)N4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.87 Å) and one longer (1.88 Å) V(1)-N(1) bond length. Both V(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.90 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NMg2V2 tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NMg2V2 tetrahedra.
