The material structure described by MnB4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent B(1) and six equivalent B(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing MnB12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mn(1), one B(1), and four equivalent B(2) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mn(1) and four equivalent B(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
