MgSn3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sn(2) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
