MgC6H24(N2O)6(ClO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ClO3 clusters and two MgC6H24(N2O)6 clusters. In each ClO3 cluster, there are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.50 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.51 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.51 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. In each MgC6H24(N2O)6 cluster, Mg2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.10 Å) and two longer (2.13 Å) Mg–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N2- and one O2- atom. There is one shorter (1.34 Å) and one longer (1.35 Å) C–N bond length. The C–O bond length is 1.28 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N2- and one O2- atom. There is one shorter (1.35 Å) and one longer (1.36 Å) C–N bond length. The C–O bond length is 1.27 Å. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N2- and one O2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.35 Å. The C–O bond length is 1.27 Å. There are six inequivalent N2- sites. In the first N2- site, N2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.02 Å) N–H bond length.

In the fifth N2- site, N2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.01 Å. In the sixth N2- site, N2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.02 Å) N–H bond length. There are twelve inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom.
