Zn(CuO2)2 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Cu(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent Cu(1)O6 octahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cu(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cu(1) and one Zn(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OZnCu3 trigonal pyramids.
