Subsolidus phase relations in the Cs2MoO4–ZnMoO4–Zr(MoO4)2 system were determined and two new compounds, Cs2ZnZr(MoO4)4 and Cs2ZnZr2(MoO4)6, were obtained. The structure of Cs2ZnZr(MoO4)4 (a=5.7919(1) Å, c=8.0490(3) Å; space group P 3¯m1; Z=0.5; R=0.0149) belongs to the layered glaserite-like KAl(MoO4)2 structure type where the octahedral Al3+ positions are statistically occupied by 0.5 Zn2++0.5 Zr4+. The second triple molybdate, Cs2ZnZr2(MoO4)6 (a=13.366(1) Å, c=12.253(3) Å, space group R 3¯, Z=3, R=0.0324), is isostructural to Cs2MnZr2(MoO4)6 and Cs2M2Zr(MoO4)6 (M=Al, Fe) and contains a mixed 3D framework built of МоO4 tetrahedra and (Zn, Zr)O6 octahedra sharing common vertices. Cesium cations are located in large channels of the framework. The latter compound undergoes a first-order phase transition at 723 K with considerable increasing its ionic conductivity.
