MnSb4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn(1) and one Sb(2) atom. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded to one Sb(1) and five equivalent Sb(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SbSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
MnSb4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Both Mn(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn(1) and one Sb(2) atom. The Sb(1)-Sb(2) bond length is 3.29 Å. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded to one Sb(1) and five equivalent Sb(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SbSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There is one shorter (3.02 Å) and four longer (3.08 Å) Sb(2)-Sb(2) bond lengths.
