CsMgNiF6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CsF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgF6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent NiF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 68–70°. There are a spread of Cs–F bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.22 Å. Mg2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form MgF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MgF6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent NiF6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent CsF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–70°. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (2.03 Å) Mg–F bond length. Ni3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form NiF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NiF6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent MgF6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent CsF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–69°. There is four shorter (1.89 Å) and two longer (1.98 Å) Ni–F bond length. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cs1+ and two equivalent Ni3+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+ and two equivalent Mg2+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cs1+, one Mg2+, and one Ni3+ atom.
