Al3Mg is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Al atoms. There are eight shorter (2.86 Å) and six longer (3.30 Å) Mg–Al bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Mg and eight equivalent Al atoms. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.86 Å. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Mg and four equivalent Al atoms.
