Zn4P6N12O crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. Zn(1) is bonded to three equivalent N(1) and one O(1) atom to form distorted ZnN3O trigonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent Zn(1)N3O trigonal pyramids. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form PN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Zn(1)N3O trigonal pyramids. N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Zn(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
