Materials Data on MgO by Materials Project
MgO is Moissanite-4H structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing MgO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.00 Å) Mg–O bond length. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing MgO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.01 Å) Mg–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Mg2+ atoms to form corner-sharing OMg4 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Mg2+ atoms to form corner-sharing OMg4 tetrahedra.
