Title: Materials Data on MgHg5 by Materials Project

MgHg5 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded to twelve Hg atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MgHg12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.24 Å) and six longer (3.35 Å) Mg–Hg bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Hg sites. In the first Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg atoms. In the second Hg site, Hg is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mg atoms.
