KZn(BO2)3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.68–3.19 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent BO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.08 Å. There are three inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.34–1.42 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.37 Å) and one longer (1.41 Å) B–O bond length. In the third B3+ site, B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one BO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.52 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Zn2+, and two equivalent B3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Zn2+, and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+, two equivalent Zn2+, and one B3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one K1+ and two B3+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two B3+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two B3+ atoms.
