The compound described by Er(MnAl)6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Er(1) is bonded in a 20-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mn(2), eight equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Al(1), two equivalent Al(2), and four equivalent Al(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), two equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Mn(2), two equivalent Al(1), two equivalent Al(2), and two equivalent Al(3) atoms. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to two equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Al(1), two equivalent Al(2), and two equivalent Al(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing MnEr2Mn4Al6 cuboctahedra. There are three inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Er(1), two equivalent Mn(2), four equivalent Mn(1), one Al(1), and two equivalent Al(3) atoms. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Er(1), two equivalent Mn(2), four equivalent Mn(1), and one Al(2) atom. In the third Al site, Al(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), two equivalent Mn(2), four equivalent Mn(1), and two equivalent Al(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
