(Mn(CO)5)3Bi is Ammonia-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four bismuth molecules and twelve Mn(CO)5 clusters. In four of the Mn(CO)5 clusters, Mn2+ is bonded in a square pyramidal geometry to five C+1.40+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.81 Å) and four longer (1.85 Å) Mn–C bond length. There are five inequivalent C+1.40+ sites. In the first C+1.40+ site, C+1.40+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mn2+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+1.40+ site, C+1.40+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mn2+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å.
