MgAgF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Mg(1) is bonded to one F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form MgF5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent Ag(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-62°. Ag(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form AgF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ag(1)F6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Mg(1)F5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mg(1) and one Ag(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg(1) and one Ag(1) atom.
