ZnIn2S4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) atoms to form ZnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent In(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. In(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form InS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)S4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent In(1)S6 octahedra. S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Zn(1) and three equivalent In(1) atoms.
