Materials Data on Mn3(SO6)2 by Materials Project
Mn3(SO6)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mn4+ sites. In the first Mn4+ site, Mn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.15 Å. In the second Mn4+ site, Mn4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.68–2.35 Å. There are two inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. There is two shorter (1.46 Å) and two longer (1.51 Å) S–O bond length. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–57°. There is one shorter (1.46 Å) and three longer (1.50 Å) S–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mn4+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn4+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mn4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mn4+ and one S6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn4+ and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn4+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn4+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn4+ and one S6+ atom.
