LiPr2Zn2(PO)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zn(1) and six equivalent P(1) atoms to form face-sharing LiZn6P6 cuboctahedra. Pr(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Pr(1), and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pr(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OPr4 tetrahedra.
