MgLa2SnO6 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 28°. La(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to nine 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 28°. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), three equivalent La(1), and one Sn(1) atom.
