Zn2PN3 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. Zn(1) is bonded to one N(2) and three equivalent N(1) atoms to form ZnN4 tetrahedra that share corners with five equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with seven equivalent Zn(1)N4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form PN4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with ten equivalent Zn(1)N4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Zn(1) and one P(1) atom to form NZn3P tetrahedra that share corners with five equivalent N(2)Zn2P2 tetrahedra and corners with seven equivalent N(1)Zn3P tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form NZn2P2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent N(2)Zn2P2 tetrahedra and corners with ten equivalent N(1)Zn3P tetrahedra.

Zn(1) is bonded to one N(2) and three equivalent N(1) atoms to form ZnN4 tetrahedra that share corners with five equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with seven equivalent Zn(1)N4 tetrahedra. The Zn(1)-N(2) bond length is 2.13 Å. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.01 Å) Zn(1)-N(1) bond length. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form PN4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with ten equivalent Zn(1)N4 tetrahedra. Both P(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.61 Å. There is one shorter (1.69 Å) and one longer (1.72 Å) P(1)-N(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Zn(1) and one P(1) atom to form NZn3P tetrahedra that share corners with five equivalent N(2)Zn2P2 tetrahedra and corners with seven equivalent N(1)Zn3P tetrahedra.
