ReZnO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. Re(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form ReO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Re(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-51°. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Re(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-51°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Re(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Re(1) and one Zn(1) atom.
