Materials Data on MnNbP by Materials Project
NbMnP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent P atoms. There are a spread of Nb–P bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.64 Å. Mn is bonded to four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.40 Å. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nb and four equivalent Mn atoms.
