Mn2(CN2)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent N(2), and two equivalent N(3) atoms to form edge-sharing MnN6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(3) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and one C(2) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and one C(1) atom.
