The crystal structure described by Rb2Zn3O4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded to one O(2) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ZnO4 tetrahedra. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded to four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Rb(1), one Zn(1), and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
