Materials Data on MnB4 by Materials Project
MnB4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn is bonded to twelve equivalent B atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing MnB12 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.06 Å) and eight longer (2.19 Å) Mn–B bond lengths. B is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mn and four equivalent B atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.71–1.88 Å.
