description: MnSbSe2Br crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two MnSbSe2Br sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are four inequivalent Mn2+ sites. In the first Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form MnSe6 octahedra that share corners with four SbSe5Br octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnSe6 octahedra, edges with two SbSe5Br octahedra, and edges with four SbSe5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 9°. There are a spread of Mn–Se bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.74 Å. In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to three Se2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted MnSe3Br2 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent SbSe5Br octahedra, corners with two equivalent SbSe5 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent MnSe3Br2 square pyramids, and a faceface with one SbSe5Br octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. There are one shorter (2.64 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Mn–Se bond lengths. Both Mn–Br bond lengths are 2.61 Å. In the third Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to three Se2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted MnSe3Br2 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent SbSe5Br octahedra, corners with two equivalent SbSe5 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent MnSe3Br2 square pyramids, and a faceface with one SbSe5Br octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are one shorter (2.64 Å) and two longer (2.87 Å) Mn–Se bond lengths. Both Mn–Br bond lengths are 2.60 Å. In the fourth Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two Se2- and two Br1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (3.04 Å) Mn–Se bond lengths. Both Mn–Br bond lengths are 2.37 Å. There are four inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form SbSe5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent MnSe3Br2 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent MnSe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbSe5Br octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SbSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Sb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.66–3.08 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to five Se2- and one Br1- atom to form distorted SbSe5Br octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnSe6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MnSe3Br2 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one MnSe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbSe5Br octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbSe5 square pyramids, and a faceface with one MnSe3Br2 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 9°. There are a spread of Sb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.65–3.10 Å. The Sb–Br bond length is 3.39 Å. In the third Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form SbSe5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent MnSe3Br2 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent MnSe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbSe5Br octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SbSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Sb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.66–3.08 Å. In the fourth Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to five Se2- and one Br1- atom to form distorted SbSe5Br octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnSe6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MnSe3Br2 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one MnSe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbSe5Br octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbSe5 square pyramids, and a faceface with one MnSe3Br2 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 9°. There are a spread of Sb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.65–3.09 Å. The Sb–Br bond length is 3.40 Å. There are eight inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn2+ and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two Mn2+ and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two Mn2+ and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the fourth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to two equivalent Mn2+ and three Sb3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SeMn2Sb3 square pyramids. In the fifth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to two equivalent Mn2+ and three Sb3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SeMn2Sb3 square pyramids. In the sixth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mn2+ and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the seventh Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mn2+ and three Sb3+ atoms. In the eighth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mn2+ and three Sb3+ atoms. There are four inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn2+ and one Sb3+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Mn2+ atoms. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Mn2+ atoms. In the fourth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mn2+ and one Sb3+ atom.
