Mg6VC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mg(4), two equivalent V(1), and one C(1) atom. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mg(4), two equivalent V(1), and two equivalent C(1) atoms. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(4) and two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(3), and four equivalent Mg(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(3), four equivalent Mg(1), four equivalent Mg(2), and two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), four equivalent Mg(2), and two equivalent V(1) atoms.
