MgWO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MgO6 pentagonal pyramids. W(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and one W(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mg(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms.
MgWO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MgO6 pentagonal pyramids. Both Mg(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.11 Å. There are two shorter (2.06 Å) and two longer (2.18 Å) Mg(1)-O(1) bond lengths. W(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Both W(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.86 Å. There are two shorter (1.95 Å) and two longer (2.13 Å) W(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and one W(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mg(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms.
