MgPb2 is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pb(1) and five equivalent Pb(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mg(1) atoms. In the second Pb site, Pb(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mg(1) atoms.
