Materials Data on MnCuP by Materials Project
MnCuP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent P3- atoms. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.65 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CuP4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.28 Å) and three longer (2.37 Å) Cu–P bond lengths. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mn2+ and four equivalent Cu1+ atoms.
