Materials Data on Mn3(OF3)2 by Materials Project
Mn3(OF3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mn+3.33+ sites. In the first Mn+3.33+ site, Mn+3.33+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–52°. Both Mn–O bond lengths are 1.98 Å. There are two shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.06 Å) Mn–F bond lengths. In the second Mn+3.33+ site, Mn+3.33+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–52°. There is one shorter (1.93 Å) and one longer (1.94 Å) Mn–O bond length. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 1.86–1.99 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+3.33+ atoms. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Mn+3.33+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Mn+3.33+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mn+3.33+ atoms.
