The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–65°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.23 Å. In the fourth Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted NiO5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra, corners with three CoO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NiO5 trigonal bipyramid, an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NiO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–73°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.99 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+, one Ni4+, and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.33 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+, one Co4+, and one Ni4+ atom.
