Abstract: The crystallographically independent unit of the title compound, [Mg(C₃H₇NO)₆][MgCl₄], consists of two six-coordinate magnesium dications and two four-coordinate magnesium dianions. The two cations are quasi-octahedral and statistically equivalent [average Mg-O = 2.07 (3) Å] and the anions are quasi-tetrahedral and statistically equivalent [average Mg-Cl = 2.334 (11) Å].
