The structure described by CuCrZrS4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Zr(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form ZrS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cu(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Zr(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form CrS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cu(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Zr(1)S6 octahedra. Cu(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zr(1)S6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-61°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Zr(1), one Cr(1), and one Cu(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Zr(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and one Cu(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
