The compound described by Mn3Co is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mn(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Mn(1) and four equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted MnMn8Co4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)Mn12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Mn(1)Mn8Co4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Co(1)Mn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Mn(1)Mn8Co4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Co(1)Mn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Mn(1)Mn8Co4 cuboctahedra. Co(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mn(1) atoms to form CoMn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)Mn12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Mn(1)Mn8Co4 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Mn(1)Mn8Co4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Co(1)Mn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Mn(1)Mn8Co4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
