Sb2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sb5+ sites. In the first Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.11 Å) and three longer (2.15 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. In the second Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.00 Å) Sb–O bond length. P+4.67+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–48°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P+4.67+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P+4.67+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P+4.67+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P+4.67+ atom.
