Mg(MnS2)2 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) atoms to form MgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mn(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form MnS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)S4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent Mn(1)S6 octahedra. S(1) is bonded to one Mg(1) and three equivalent Mn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SMgMn3 trigonal pyramids.
