Ca3ZnMnO6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O(1) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ca(1), one Mn(1), and one Zn(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing OCa4MnZn octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-64°.
