Materials Data on Mn by Materials Project

Abstract

Mn is alpha structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to sixteen Mn atoms. There are twelve shorter (2.67 Å) and four longer (2.71 Å) Mn–Mn bond lengths. In the second Mn site, Mn is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to sixteen Mn atoms. There are a spread of Mn–Mn bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.83 Å. In the third Mn site, Mn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to thirteen Mn atoms. There are a spread of Mn–Mn bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.59 Å. In the fourth Mn site, Mn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Mn atoms. There are one shorter (2.17 Å) and two longer (2.36 Å) Mn–Mn bond lengths.
