The material described by Zn3Si4(MoO7)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Si(2)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Mo(2)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Zn(2)O4 trigonal pyramid. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Si(2)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Zn(2)O4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent Zn sites.

In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(5), and one O(6) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Mo(1)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one Mo(2)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent Zn(2)O4 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 65-68°. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Mo(2), one Zn(1), one Zn(2), and one Si(2) atom to form distorted corner-sharing OZn2SiMo tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mo(1), one Mo(2), and one Zn(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mo(1), one Zn(2), and one Si(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mo(1), one Mo(2), and one Si(1) atom.
