Mn2ZnO5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Mn(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
