Materials Data on KMnP by Materials Project
KMnP crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one KMnP sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. K1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P3- atoms. All K–P bond lengths are 3.28 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. All Mn–P bond lengths are 2.29 Å. P3- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K1+ and four equivalent Mn2+ atoms.
