Li3Sb2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two SbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.30 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.30 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SbO6 octahedra, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 71–83°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.12 Å. There are three inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.22 Å) and four longer (2.35 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.46 Å. In the third Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and four longer (2.35 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SbO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–53°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.59 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SbO6 octahedra, and a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–53°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.59 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six SbO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.58 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Sb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom.
