Mn(CuCl2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms to form edge-sharing MnCl6 octahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Cl(2) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ClMn2Cu2 tetrahedra. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) atoms.
