ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Cu(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) and one Cl(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Cu(1), one Zn(1), and one H(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cu(1) and three equivalent H(1) atoms.
