Mn(ZnN)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ZnN4 trigonal pyramids. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1), one Zn(1), and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NMn2Zn3 trigonal bipyramids.
Mn(ZnN)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. The Mn(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.87 Å. There is one shorter (1.88 Å) and one longer (1.96 Å) Mn(1)-N(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. The Zn(1)-N(2) bond length is 2.10 Å. Both Zn(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.02 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ZnN4 trigonal pyramids.
