Materials Data on MnCl2 by Materials Project
MnCl2 is trigonal omega-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of three MnCl2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Mn2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MnCl6 octahedra. All Mn–Cl bond lengths are 2.55 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Mn2+ atoms.
