Zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4) is an inorganic material found in nature with two different types of crystalline phases: α-triclinic and β-monoclinic. In the α-ZnMoO4 triclinic structure all zinc (Zn) atoms are bonded to six oxygen (O) atoms forming the distorted octahedral [ZnO6] clusters. The molybdenum (Mo) atoms are coordinated to four O atoms resulting in the tetrahedral [MoO4] clusters [12].
