MnP4 is Sylvanite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one P(1), one P(2), two equivalent P(3), and two equivalent P(4) atoms to form edge-sharing MnP6 octahedra. There are four inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn(1), one P(1), one P(2), and one P(3) atom. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn(1), one P(1), one P(2), and one P(4) atom. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn(1), one P(1), and one P(4) atom. In the fourth P site, P(4) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn(1), one P(2), and one P(3) atom.
