ZrO2 is Baddeleyite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to four equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra.

Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Zr(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.06-2.15 Å. There are a spread of Zr(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.19-2.23 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to four equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra.
