The crystal structure described by Mo2Zn(PO5)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. Mo(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. Zn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3) and two equivalent O(5) atoms. P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-62°. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mo(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mo(1), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mo(1), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
