Mg(NO3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pca2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.18 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.18 Å. There are four inequivalent N5+ sites. In the first N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.26 Å) and one longer (1.27 Å) N–O bond length. In the second N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All N–O bond lengths are 1.26 Å. In the third N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All N–O bond lengths are 1.26 Å. In the fourth N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.26 Å) and one longer (1.27 Å) N–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one N5+ atom.
