MgTi2(GeO3)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Ti(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to one Mg(1), two equivalent Ti(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OMgTi2Ge trigonal pyramids.
MgTi2(GeO3)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. All Mg(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.30 Å. Ti(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.07 Å) and three longer (2.08 Å) Ti(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Ge(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. All Ge(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.95 Å. O(1) is bonded to one Mg(1), two equivalent Ti(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OMgTi2Ge trigonal pyramids.
