MgLa4Sn crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(2) and six equivalent La(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.62 Å) and three longer (4.16 Å) Mg(1)-La(2) bond lengths. All Mg(1)-La(1) bond lengths are 3.62 Å. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent La(1), and one Sn(1) atom. Both La(1)-La(1) bond lengths are 1.85 Å. The La(1)-Sn(1) bond length is 2.90 Å. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent La(1) atoms.
