MgF2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are two shorter (1.98 Å) and four longer (1.99 Å) Mg(1)-F(1) bond lengths. F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) atoms.
