Materials Data on Ba(MnP)2 by Materials Project
BaMn2P2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P3- atoms. All Ba–P bond lengths are 3.35 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. All Mn–P bond lengths are 2.28 Å. P3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+ and four equivalent Mn2+ atoms.
