ZnV2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. V(1) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-57°. Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent V(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form corner-sharing OV2Zn2 tetrahedra.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-57°. The V(1)-O(3) bond length is 2.02 Å. There is one shorter (2.04 Å) and one longer (2.16 Å) V(1)-O(2) bond length. There are a spread of V(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.02-2.09 Å. Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.06 Å) and one longer (2.07 Å) Zn(1)-O(3) bond length. There are two shorter (2.20 Å) and two longer (2.51 Å) Zn(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
