description: Cr3Mn2Sb3O16 is beta Vanadium nitride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cr5+ sites. In the first Cr5+ site, Cr5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–52°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.09 Å. In the second Cr5+ site, Cr5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.06 Å. There are two inequivalent Mn2+ sites. In the first Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent SbO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one SbO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–53°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.15 Å. In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CrO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–52°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.06 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb+4.33+ sites. In the first Sb+4.33+ site, Sb+4.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.08 Å. In the second Sb+4.33+ site, Sb+4.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–53°. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.05 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cr5+, one Mn2+, and one Sb+4.33+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr5+ and one Mn2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr5+ and one Sb+4.33+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Cr5+ and one Sb+4.33+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cr5+ and two equivalent Sb+4.33+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cr5+, one Mn2+, and one Sb+4.33+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Cr5+ and one Mn2+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mn2+ and two equivalent Sb+4.33+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cr5+, one Mn2+, and one Sb+4.33+ atom.
