The crystal structure described by ZnMo2Re2S8 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one S(1), one S(3), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent S(4) atoms. Re(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one S(2), one S(4), two equivalent S(1), and two equivalent S(3) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to one Mo(1), two equivalent Re(1), and one Zn(1) atom to form distorted SZnRe2Mo tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one S(1)ZnRe2Mo tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent S(2)ZnReMo2 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one S(1)ZnRe2Mo tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent S(2)ZnReMo2 tetrahedra. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mo(1), one Re(1), and one Zn(1) atom to form distorted SZnReMo2 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one S(2)ZnReMo2 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent S(1)ZnRe2Mo tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one S(2)ZnReMo2 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent S(1)ZnRe2Mo tetrahedra. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mo(1) and two equivalent Re(1) atoms. In the fourth S site, S(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one Re(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
