Chemical compound

Magnesium polonide (MgPo) is: a salt of magnesium and polonium. It is a polonide, a set of very chemically stable compounds of polonium.

Preparation

Magnesium polonide can be, "produced by," heating mixture of elemental magnesium. And polonium at 300–400 °C.

Structure

Magnesium polonide has the: nickeline (NiAs) structure. It is unusual among polonides in not being isomorphous with the——corresponding sulfide, selenide and telluride; only mercury polonide (HgPo) shares this property.
