The material structure described by ZnGeO3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing GeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OZn2Ge2 tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
