{sup 151}Eu and {sup 121}Sb Moessbauer spectroscopy of EuSbSe{sub 3} and EuBiSe{sub 3} were measured at different temperatures. The presence of divalent europium and trivalent antimony were confirmed. The largely negative values of the isomer shift in {sup 151}Eu spectrum show highly ionic bonding within these two compounds. Both of them show magnetic hyperfine field splitting at 4.2 K, which indicates a change in the orientation of the EFG principal axis with respect to the magnetic hyperfine field direction. EuSbSe{sub 3} has slightly smaller electron density at the antimony nuclei, compared to Sb{sub 2}Se{sub 3.} - Graphical abstract: Experimental and simulated {sup 121}Sb Moessbauer spectrum of EuSbSe{sub 3} at 77 K.
