The crystal structures of Mn 5 O 8 and Cd 2 Mn 3 O 8 are determined from single crystal and high resolution X ‐ray powder data. Both structures have very similar monoclinic unit cells, space group C 2 h 3 – C 2/m, and are isotypic:Hence, the true formula of Mn 5 O 8 is Mn 2 II Mn 3 IV O 8 . The crystal structure consists of pseudohexagonal Mn IV sheets ( bc ) with similar oxygen sheets on either side, giving a distorted octahedral coordination to the Mn IV . As every fourth Mn IV is missing in these “main layers”, their composition becomes Mn 3 O 8 , and chains of coordination octahedra linked by common edges become distinct. Above and below the empty Mn IV sites are either Mn II or Cd II completing the composition Mn 2 II Mn 3 IV O 8 or Cd 2 Mn 3 O 8 respectively. Examples of similar “double layer” structures are given.
