MgZnO2 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to one O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to one O(2) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Mg(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form OMgZn3 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent O(2)Mg3Zn tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent O(1)MgZn3 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Mg(1) and one Zn(1) atom to form OMg3Zn tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent O(2)Mg3Zn tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent O(1)MgZn3 tetrahedra.
