Mn5(SiO5)2 is beta indium sulfide-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mn+2.40+ sites. In the first Mn+2.40+ site, Mn+2.40+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with eight MnO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with two MnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–71°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.42 Å. In the second Mn+2.40+ site, Mn+2.40+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six MnO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with three MnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–68°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.35 Å. In the third Mn+2.40+ site, Mn+2.40+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 54–71°. There are two shorter (2.15 Å) and four longer (2.30 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six MnO6 octahedra and edges with three MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–64°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–1.67 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Mn+2.40+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mn+2.40+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Mn+2.40+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mn+2.40+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+2.40+ atoms.
