The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 16–72°. There are a spread of Pr–Se bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.29 Å. There are eight inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to two Mg2+ and three Pr3+ atoms to form distorted SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent SePr3Mg2 square pyramids, corners with three equivalent SePr3Mg tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with five SePr3Mg2 square pyramids, and edges with three SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to two Mg2+ and three Pr3+ atoms to form distorted SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six SePr3Mg2 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent SePr3Mg tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with three SePr3Mg2 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one SePr3Mg tetrahedra, and edges with three SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to one Mg2+ and three Pr3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SePr3Mg tetrahedra. In the fourth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg2+ and three Pr3+ atoms. In the fifth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to two Mg2+ and three Pr3+ atoms to form distorted SePr3Mg2 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one SePr3Mg tetrahedra, corners with eight SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four SePr3Mg2 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one SePr3Mg tetrahedra, and edges with two SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids. In the sixth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to two Mg2+ and three Pr3+ atoms to form SePr3Mg2 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent SePr4Mg square pyramids, a cornercorner with one SePr3Mg tetrahedra, corners with six SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with three SePr3Mg2 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one SePr3Mg tetrahedra, and edges with three SePr3Mg2 trigonal bipyramids.
