ZnWO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. W(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted WO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-55°. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-55°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Zn(1) atom.
