MnOsN2 is beta beryllia-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form MnN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Os(1)N4 tetrahedra. Os(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form distorted OsN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Os(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Mn(1)N4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Os(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NMn2Os2 tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Os(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NMn2Os2 tetrahedra.

Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form MnN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Os(1)N4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.86 Å) and one longer (1.87 Å) Mn(1)-N(1) bond length. There is one shorter (1.84 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Mn(1)-N(2) bond length. Os(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form distorted OsN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Os(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Mn(1)N4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.97 Å) and one longer (2.05 Å) Os(1)-N(1) bond length. There is one shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.04 Å) Os(1)-N(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent N sites.
