The material structure described by Mn3(ZnN)8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(4) atoms. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one N(3) atom. There are four inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(4) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N(3) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the third Zn site, Zn(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(4) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the fourth Zn site, Zn(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to one Mn(2), one Zn(1), one Zn(4), and two equivalent Zn(3) atoms to form NMnZn4 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent N(3)MnZn3 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent N(1)MnZn4 trigonal bipyramids, and corners with four equivalent N(4)MnZn3 trigonal pyramids. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mn(2) and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded to one Mn(2), one Zn(2), and two equivalent Zn(4) atoms to form NMnZn3 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent N(3)MnZn3 tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent N(1)MnZn4 trigonal bipyramids. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded to one Mn(1), one Zn(3), and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form distorted NMnZn3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent N(1)MnZn4 trigonal bipyramids and corners with three equivalent N(4)MnZn3 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
