MnZnF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form MnF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mn(1)F6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Zn(1)F5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. Zn(1) is bonded to one F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form ZnF5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 4-66°. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and one Zn(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mn(1) and one Zn(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn(1) and one Zn(1) atom.
