This paper aims to associate a new graph to nonzero unital modules over commutative rings. Let R be a commutative ring having a nonzero identity and M be a nonzero unital R-module. The zero intersection graph of annihilator ideals of R-module M, denoted by CR(M), is a simple (undirected) graph whose vertex set M⋆ = M − {0}, and two distinct vertices m and m′ are adjacent if annR(m)∩annR(m′) = (0). We investigate the conditions under which CR(M) is a star graph, bipartite graph, complete graph, edgeless graph. Furthermore, we characterize certain classes of modules and rings such as torsion-free modules, torsion modules, semisimple modules, quasi-regular rings, and modules satisfying Property T in terms of their graphical properties.
