MgSi is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.01 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.17 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.11 Å. There are three inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Mg and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.67 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to seven Mg and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.40 Å. In the third Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Mg and three equivalent Si atoms.
