Mn4Zn(CuO4)3 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent Zn(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. Cu(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn(1), one Cu(1), and one Zn(1) atom.
