Gd2ZnTiO6 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3), three equivalent O(1), and three equivalent O(2) atoms. Ti(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 35-37°. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ti(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 35-37°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd(1), one Ti(1), and one Zn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd(1), one Ti(1), and one Zn(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to two equivalent Gd(1), one Ti(1), and one Zn(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing OGd2TiZn trigonal pyramids.
