MgO crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to five equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgO5 trigonal bipyramids. O(1) is bonded to five equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg5 trigonal bipyramids.
MgO crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to five equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three shorter (2.01 Å) and two longer (2.09 Å) Mg(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to five equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg5 trigonal bipyramids.
