The crystal structure described by K3Zn2F7 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent F(2) and five equivalent F(3) atoms. In the second K site, K(2) is bonded to four equivalent F(1) and eight equivalent F(2) atoms to form KF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent K(2)F12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent K(2)F12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Zn(1)F6 octahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to one F(1), one F(3), and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form ZnF6 octahedra that share corners with five equivalent Zn(1)F6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent K(2)F12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-2°. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent K(2) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded to two equivalent K(1), two equivalent K(2), and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form distorted FK4Zn2 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent F(3)K5Zn octahedra, corners with eight equivalent F(2)K4Zn2 octahedra, edges with three equivalent F(2)K4Zn2 octahedra, faces with two equivalent F(3)K5Zn octahedra, and faces with four equivalent F(2)K4Zn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded to five equivalent K(1) and one Zn(1) atom to form distorted FK5Zn octahedra that share corners with four equivalent F(3)K5Zn octahedra, corners with twelve equivalent F(2)K4Zn2 octahedra, edges with eight equivalent F(3)K5Zn octahedra, and faces with four equivalent F(2)K4Zn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 6-56°. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
