We present a model for the microscopic structure of Mg-H complexes in GaN, explaining the unusual bond angle observed in recent vibrational spectroscopy studies. The structure is not the lowest-energy configuration at T = 0, but it is stabilized at elevated temperatures due to the large entropy associated with a set of low-energy rotational excitations. The rotational excitation spectrum is calculated using a quantum-mechanical model in which the hydrogen atom moves in a weak corrugation potential. Consequences for experiment are discussed.
