MgCu2(PdO2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Pd(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), one Pd(1), one Pd(2), one Cu(1), and one Cu(2) atom.
