MgTi2O4 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted MgO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent Ti(1)O6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Ti(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 65°. Ti(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Ti(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Mg(1)O4 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent Ti(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O4 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-46°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1) and three equivalent Ti(1) atoms.
