LiZnPO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li(1), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Zn(1), and one P(1) atom.
