The structure described by MnGa2S4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one S(1), one S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms to form MnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mn(1)S4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Ga(1)S4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Ga(2)S4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded to one S(3), one S(4), and two equivalent S(1) atoms to form GaS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ga(1)S4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Ga(2)S4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Mn(1)S4 tetrahedra. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded to one S(3), one S(4), and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form GaS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ga(1)S4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Ga(2)S4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Mn(1)S4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1), one Ga(1), and one Ga(2) atom to form corner-sharing SMn2Ga2 tetrahedra. In the fourth S site, S(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ga(1) and one Ga(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
