Cd(Mn5N4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure consists of two 7440-43-9 atoms inside a Mn5N4 framework. In the Mn5N4 framework, there are five inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one N(3) atom. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and two equivalent N(4) atoms. In the third Mn site, Mn(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(4) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. In the fourth Mn site, Mn(4) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(4) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MnN4 trigonal pyramids. In the fifth Mn site, Mn(5) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(1) and three equivalent N(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to one Mn(1), one Mn(2), one Mn(5), and two equivalent Mn(4) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NMn5 trigonal bipyramids. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to one Mn(1), one Mn(2), and three equivalent Mn(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMn5 square pyramids. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1) and three equivalent Mn(5) atoms. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded to one Mn(3), two equivalent Mn(2), and two equivalent Mn(4) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMn5 trigonal bipyramids.
