Rb2V2Mn(O3Cl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), three equivalent O(2), two equivalent Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra. Mn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Rb(1), one V(1), and one Mn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one V(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Rb(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ClRb4Mn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms.
