MgSn(BO3)2 is Calcite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one B(1), and one Sn(1) atom.
