MgGeP2 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 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 Ge(1)P4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form GeP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)P4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Mg(1)P4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PMg2Ge2 tetrahedra.
