The crystal structure described by Mo2ZnO5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Mo(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted MoO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Mo(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Mo(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted ZnO6 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Mo(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with four equivalent Mo(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mo(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form corner-sharing OZn2Mo2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo(1) and one Zn(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo(1) and one Zn(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
