VWZn2O6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. V(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 41-42°. W(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 41-42°. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one V(1), one W(1), one Zn(1), and one Zn(2) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OVZn2W tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(1), one W(1), and one Zn(1) atom.
