V2Zn3O11 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. V(1) is bonded to one O(4) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra and  a cornercorner with one V(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with four equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zn(1) and one O(3) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
