Mn2ZnTe4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form MnTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)Te4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent Mn(1)Te6 octahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form ZnTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mn(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Mn(1) and one Zn(1) atom.
