GaZr2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure consists of six 7440-55-3 atoms inside a Zr2(PO4)3 framework. In the Zr2(PO4)3 framework, Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr(1) and one P(1) atom.

In the Zr2(PO4)3 framework, Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. All Zr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.09 Å. All Zr(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.11 Å. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°. Both P(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.54 Å. Both P(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.55 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr(1) and one P(1) atom.
