Fe3Sb(PO4)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–47°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.18 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent SbO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–53°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.26 Å. In the third Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.16 Å. Sb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–53°. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.19 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two FeO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.60 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two FeO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent FeO6 pentagonal pyramids, and an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–41°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.59 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one FeO6 pentagonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–58°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.58 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one FeO6 pentagonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one FeO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–55°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Fe3+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ 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 3-coordinate geometry to two Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Fe3+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sb3+ and one P5+ atom.
