ZrO2 is Hydrophilite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ZrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 26-56°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) atoms.

Zr(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ZrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 26-56°. There are a spread of Zr(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.04-2.14 Å. There are a spread of Zr(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.09-2.15 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) atoms.
