Mg3Ac crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Ac(1) atoms. Ac(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing AcMg12 cuboctahedra.
Mg3Ac crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Ac(1) atoms. There are four shorter (3.22 Å) and two longer (3.24 Å) Mg(1)-Mg(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.50 Å) and two longer (3.63 Å) Mg(1)-Ac(1) bond lengths. Ac(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing AcMg12 cuboctahedra.
