Abstract: In a new polymorph of hexaaquamagnesium(II) bis(hypophosphite), [Mg(H2O)6](H2PO2)2, the planes of trans water molecules forming the octahedral coordination sphere of the Mg atoms are in a staggered conformation. The magnesium(II) cations are in a pseudo-face-centered cubic arrangement, with a 
10.294 Å and tetrahedral cavities are occupied by P atoms. Hypophosphite anions are hydrogen bonded to the coordinated water molecules.
