What can be theoretical reason for these patterns of Crystal structures in periodic table?

-Mn, Fe, Co deviate from the trend because of the magnetic contribution to the thermodynamic functions.
-the total cohesive energy is much larger than the differences between the energies of the crystal structures.
So there are non-obvious subtle effects which are responsible for the energy differences and which determine the observed crystal structures.
