Materials Data on Ta2Mn4Si5 by Materials Project

Ta2Mn4Si5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ibam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ta5+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form distorted TaSi6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent TaSi6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent MnSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent TaSi6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent TaSi6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent MnSi7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There are two shorter (2.59 Å) and four longer (2.61 Å) Ta–Si bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Mn+2.50+ sites. In the first Mn+2.50+ site, Mn+2.50+ is bonded to seven Si4- atoms to form distorted MnSi7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent TaSi6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent MnSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with three equivalent MnSi7 pentagonal bipyramids, faces with four equivalent TaSi6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent MnSi7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–55°. There are a spread of Mn–Si bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.91 Å.
