ZnSb 2 O 6 crystallises in a tri-rutile structure, belonging to the P 4 2 /mnm space group, as shown in Figure . The structure consists of ZnO 6 and SbO 6 edge-sharing octahedra in the order ZnO 6 -SbO 6 -SbO 6 along the c-axis, with corner-sharing octahedra present throughout the a-b planes (Figure ).
