The structure described by V3Zn(P2O7)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(7) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one V(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one V(2)O6 octahedra. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(6) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra. Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one V(2)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, and  a cornercorner with one P(2)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-61°. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(4), one O(6), and one O(7) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, and  a cornercorner with one P(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 36-62°. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(6) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one V(2), and one P(2) atom. In the third O site, O(7) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent V(1) and one P(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(2), one Zn(1), and one P(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one V(2), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom. In the seventh O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one P(1) and one P(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
