MgPb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing MgPb12 cuboctahedra. Pb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and eight equivalent Pb(1) atoms.
MgPb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing MgPb12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.36 Å) and six longer (3.52 Å) Mg(1)-Pb(1) bond lengths. Pb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and eight equivalent Pb(1) atoms. There are a spread of Pb(1)-Pb(1) bond distances ranging from 3.31-3.55 Å.
