Mn2CoN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Mn(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnN5 square pyramids. Co(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Mn(1) and one Co(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMn5Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-7°.
Mn2CoN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Mn(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnN5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mn(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.03-2.14 Å. Co(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Co(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.87 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Mn(1) and one Co(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMn5Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-7°.
