Ba2MnN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Ba(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing BaN5 square pyramids. Mn(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Ba(1) and one Mn(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa5Mn octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-5°.
Ba2MnN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Ba(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing BaN5 square pyramids. There are four shorter (2.93 Å) and one longer (2.98 Å) Ba(1)-N(1) bond length. Mn(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Mn(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.73 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Ba(1) and one Mn(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa5Mn octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-5°.
