The material described by Mn10CuN8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are five inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one N(3) atom. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to one N(2), two equivalent N(1), and two equivalent N(4) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnN5 square pyramids. In the third Mn site, Mn(3) is bonded to one N(3), one N(4), and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnN5 square pyramids. In the fourth Mn site, Mn(4) is bonded to one N(3), two equivalent N(1), and two equivalent N(4) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnN5 square pyramids. In the fifth Mn site, Mn(5) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and two equivalent N(3) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent N(3) and two equivalent N(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to one Mn(1), one Mn(5), two equivalent Mn(2), and two equivalent Mn(4) atoms to form NMn6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one N(3)Mn5Cu octahedra, corners with two equivalent N(1)Mn6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent N(2)Mn6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one N(1)Mn6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one N(2)Mn6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent N(3)Mn5Cu octahedra, and edges with four equivalent N(4)Mn5Cu octahedra.
