Mg16Al12Sn crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to seven Mg and five equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.17 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Al bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.15 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg, six equivalent Al, and one Sn atom. All Mg–Al bond lengths are 3.13 Å. The Mg–Sn bond length is 3.16 Å. Al is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to seven Mg, three equivalent Al, and one Sn atom. There are one shorter (2.74 Å) and two longer (2.79 Å) Al–Al bond lengths. The Al–Sn bond length is 3.25 Å. Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg and twelve equivalent Al atoms.
