The crystal structure described by NaMnCl3 is Ilmenite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Na(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form distorted NaCl6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Mn(1)Cl6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Na(1)Cl6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Mn(1)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 41-58°. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form MnCl6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Na(1)Cl6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Mn(1)Cl6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Na(1)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 41-58°. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
