MgTi2O4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_12_12 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ti(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 56-60°. Ti(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent Ti(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded to one Mg(1) and three equivalent Ti(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OMgTi3 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1) and three equivalent Ti(1) atoms.
