MnZn13 is Bergman Structure: Mg32(Al,Zn)49 Bergman-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(3), two equivalent Zn(5), four equivalent Zn(1), and four equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form MnZn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mn(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent Zn(3)Mn2Zn10 cuboctahedra. There are five inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1), one Zn(3), two equivalent Zn(1), two equivalent Zn(4), two equivalent Zn(5), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1), one Zn(3), two equivalent Zn(2), two equivalent Zn(4), two equivalent Zn(5), and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the third Zn site, Zn(3) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Zn(5), four equivalent Zn(1), and four equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form distorted ZnMn2Zn10 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zn(3)Mn2Zn10 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent Mn(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra. In the fourth Zn site, Zn(4) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Zn(4), one Zn(5), four equivalent Zn(1), and four equivalent Zn(2) atoms. In the fifth Zn site, Zn(5) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1), one Zn(3), one Zn(4), four equivalent Zn(1), and four equivalent Zn(2) atoms.
