TaMnZn2O6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Ta(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form TaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-46°. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-46°. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ta(1), one Mn(1), and one Zn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ta(1), one Mn(1), one Zn(1), and one Zn(2) atom.
