The crystal structure described by Ta2MnZn2O8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Ta(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted TaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-55°. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Ta(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-55°. Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one O(3) and three equivalent O(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ta(1) and one Mn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ta(1) and two equivalent Mn(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ta(1) and one Zn(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to one Ta(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OTaZn3 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
