The material structure described by Co5ZnO7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to one O(2), two equivalent O(3), and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-5°. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-56°. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(4) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded to one Co(3), two equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms to form OCo5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent O(1)Co6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one O(3)Co5 square pyramid, corners with four equivalent O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent O(4)Zn2Co2 tetrahedra, edges with five equivalent O(1)Co6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramid, and edges with two equivalent O(3)Co5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. In the second O site, O(4) is bonded to two equivalent Co(2) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form OZn2Co2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(1)Co6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent O(3)Co5 square pyramids, corners with eight equivalent O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent O(4)Zn2Co2 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded to one Co(2), two equivalent Co(3), and three equivalent Co(1) atoms to form OCo6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(1)Co6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramid, corners with two equivalent O(3)Co5 square pyramids,  a cornercorner with one O(4)Zn2Co2 tetrahedra, edges with five equivalent O(1)Co6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramids, and edges with five equivalent O(3)Co5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. In the fourth O site, O(2) is bonded to one Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form distorted OZn2Co3 square pyramids that share  a cornercorner with one O(1)Co6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent O(3)Co5 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent O(4)Zn2Co2 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent O(1)Co6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(3)Co5 square pyramid, edges with three equivalent O(2)Zn2Co3 square pyramids, and  an edgeedge with one O(4)Zn2Co2 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 11°. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
