NaZn2(MoO5)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Na(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Mo(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 63°. Mo(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Na(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-69°. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Na(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Mo(1)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 63°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Na(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Na(1), one Mo(1), and one Zn(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mo(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
