The structure described by Mn10ZnN8 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 trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one N(3) atom. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and two equivalent N(4) atoms.
