MgAu5 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to twelve Au+0.40- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgAu12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.93 Å) and six longer (2.95 Å) Mg–Au bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Au+0.40- sites. In the first Au+0.40- site, Au+0.40- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ atoms. In the second Au+0.40- site, Au+0.40- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mg2+ atoms.
