MgSm4 is Iron carbide-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight MgSm4 clusters. Mg(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Sm(1) atoms. Sm(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) atom.
