MgLa6WO12 is Ilmenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mg(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(2) atoms. La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. W(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent La(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLa3W trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1) and three equivalent La(1) atoms.
