MgCu2O4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cu(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. Cu(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent Cu(1)O6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded to one Mg(1) and three equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OMgCu3 trigonal pyramids.
