ZnC3(NO2)2CO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnn2 space group. The structure consists of four carbon dioxide molecules inside a ZnC3(NO2)2 framework. In the ZnC3(NO2)2 framework, Zn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to one N(1), one N(2), one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. There are four inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one O(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(2) and one O(2) atom. In the third C site, C(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(3) atoms. In the fourth C site, C(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(2) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(2) atom. In the second O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(3) atom. In the third O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(4) atom. In the fourth O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one C(1) atom.
