Materials Data on Ba3Mn by Materials Project
Ba3Mn is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba is bonded to four equivalent Ba and four equivalent Mn atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing BaBa4Mn4 tetrahedra. All Ba–Ba bond lengths are 3.86 Å. All Ba–Mn bond lengths are 3.86 Å. In the second Ba site, Ba is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ba atoms. Mn is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ba atoms.
