Materials Data on Mn2O5 by Materials Project
Mn2O5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn5+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.77–1.91 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mn5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mn5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mn5+ atoms.
