Materials Data on K4MnBr6 by Materials Project
K4MnBr6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Br1- atoms. All K–Br bond lengths are 3.26 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Br1- atoms. There are a spread of K–Br bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.58 Å. Mn2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Br1- atoms. All Mn–Br bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Br1- is bonded to five K1+ and one Mn2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing BrK5Mn octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–64°.
