ZrO2 is Baddeleyite structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-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 edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra.

Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Zr(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.06-2.16 Å. There are a spread of Zr(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.16-2.26 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 edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra.
