MgO6(PO2)2 is Zincblende, Sphalerite structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two magnesium;dihydroxide;tetrahydrate molecules and two PO2 clusters. In each PO2 cluster, there are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(5) and two equivalent O(7) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(6) and two equivalent O(7) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(2) atom. In the third O site, O(7) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one P(1) and one P(2) atom.
