Mg(H2O)6(Br)2 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen bromide atoms and two Mg(H2O)6 clusters. In each Mg(H2O)6 cluster, Mg(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(2) atom. In the third H site, H(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(2) atom. In the fourth H site, H(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one H(2), and one H(3) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one H(1), and one H(4) atom.
