NiZnO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. Zn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ni(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OZn3Ni3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
