The material described by VMn(CrTe2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(2) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted VTe6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra, corners with eight equivalent Cr(2)Mn2Te6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Mn(1)Cr2Te6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-51°. There are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(2) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted CrTe6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra, corners with eight equivalent Mn(1)Cr2Te6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Cr(2)Mn2Te6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-50°. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Te(1), and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form distorted CrMn2Te6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cr(2)Mn2Te6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Mn(1)Cr2Te6 octahedra, corners with eight equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(2)Mn2Te6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent Mn(1)Cr2Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-51°. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cr(2), two equivalent Te(1), and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form distorted MnCr2Te6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mn(1)Cr2Te6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Cr(2)Mn2Te6 octahedra, corners with eight equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(1)Cr2Te6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent Cr(2)Mn2Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-50°. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), one Cr(2), two equivalent Cr(1), and one Mn(1) atom. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Cr(1), two equivalent Cr(2), and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
