The compound described by Zn(OH)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(2) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and one H(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and one H(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
