The structure described by MnZnGeO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-61°. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 55-61°. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Mn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 59-64°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Mn(1), one Zn(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Mn(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing OMnZn2Ge tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mn(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
