MgSbCl6NS2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure consists of two NS2 clusters inside a MgSbCl6 framework. In each NS2 cluster, N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(1) atom. In the MgSbCl6 framework, Mg(1) is bonded to one Cl(3), one Cl(4), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form MgCl4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Sb(1)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 8-49°. Sb(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), one Cl(5), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form distorted SbCl6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)Cl4 tetrahedra. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom.
