MgCl2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one MgCl2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Mg2+ is bonded to four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing MgCl4 tetrahedra. All Mg–Cl bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ atoms.
