In the second O site, O is bonded to six Mg atoms to form OMg6 octahedra that share corners with six OMg5Ni octahedra and edges with twelve OMg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. In the third O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Si atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg5Si octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. In the fourth O site, O is bonded to six Mg atoms to form OMg6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OMg6 octahedra and edges with twelve OMg5Ni octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. In the fifth O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Ni atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg5Ni octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. In the sixth O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Si atom to form OMg5Si octahedra that share corners with six OMg5Ni octahedra and edges with twelve OMg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. In the seventh O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Si atom to form OMg5Si octahedra that share corners with six OMg5Ni octahedra and edges with twelve OMg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. Both O–Mg bond lengths are 2.15 Å. In the eighth O site, O is bonded to six Mg atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the ninth O site, O is bonded to six Mg atoms to form OMg6 octahedra that share corners with six OMg5Si octahedra and edges with twelve OMg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. In the tenth O site, O is bonded to six Mg atoms to form OMg6 octahedra that share corners with six OMg5Si octahedra and edges with twelve OMg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There are two shorter (2.13 Å) and two longer (2.14 Å) O–Mg bond lengths. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Ni atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg5Ni octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are two shorter (2.12 Å) and three longer (2.13 Å) O–Mg bond lengths.
