K2Zn3O4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. K(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded to one O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K(1), one Zn(2), and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K(1) and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms.
K2Zn3O4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. K(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms.
