CuZnF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Cu(1) is bonded to one F(1), one F(2), one F(3), one F(4), and two equivalent F(5) atoms to form corner-sharing CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. Zn(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one F(3), one F(4), one F(5), two equivalent F(1), and two equivalent F(2) atoms. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cu(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cu(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu(1) and one Zn(1) atom. In the fourth F site, F(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cu(1) and one Zn(1) atom. In the fifth F site, F(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Cu(1) and one Zn(1) atom.
