AgZnBiO5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ag(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(5), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(5), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted ZnO5 square pyramids that share corners with three equivalent Bi(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Bi(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Zn(1)O5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 31-67°. Bi(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(5), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted BiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Zn(1)O5 square pyramids,  an edgeedge with one Bi(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O5 square pyramids. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ag(1), one Zn(1), and one Bi(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ag(1) and one Bi(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ag(1), one Zn(1), and one Bi(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ag(1), one Zn(1), and one Bi(1) atom.
