ZnSnF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Zn(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to one F(1), one F(2), one F(3), and one F(4) atom. Sn(1) is bonded to one F(1), one F(2), one F(3), one F(4), and two equivalent F(5) atoms to form corner-sharing SnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 35°. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one Sn(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one Sn(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one Sn(1) atom. In the fourth F site, F(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn(1) and one Sn(1) atom. In the fifth F site, F(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
