Ta3MnS6 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_322 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ta+3.33+ sites. In the first Ta+3.33+ site, Ta+3.33+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted TaS6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent MnS6 octahedra and edges with six equivalent TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. All Ta–S bond lengths are 2.49 Å. In the second Ta+3.33+ site, Ta+3.33+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted TaS6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent MnS6 octahedra, edges with six TaS6 pentagonal pyramids, and a faceface with one MnS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are three shorter (2.47 Å) and three longer (2.51 Å) Ta–S bond lengths. Mn2+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form MnS6 octahedra that share corners with twelve TaS6 pentagonal pyramids and faces with two equivalent TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mn–S bond lengths are 2.35 Å. S2- is bonded to three Ta+3.33+ and one Mn2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing STa3Mn trigonal pyramids.
