Materials Data on Na4Mn2As(CO4)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na4Mn2As(CO4)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one AsO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–85°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.55 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one AsO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–85°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.56 Å. Mn+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share edges with four NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.24 Å. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.28–1.31 Å. As5+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form AsO4 tetrahedra that share edges with four NaO6 octahedra. All As–O bond lengths are 1.72 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and one As5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Mn+3.50+, and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Mn+3.50+, and one C4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two Na1+, one Mn+3.50+, and one C4+ atom.
