The nuclear and magnetic structures of the synthetic schafarzikite related material CoSb{sub 2}O{sub 4} have been determined from neutron powder diffraction data. The compound is tetragonal (P4{sub 2}/mbc) with refined lattice constants at 300 K of, a=8.49340(9) A, c=5.92387(8) A. The magnetic ordering is shown to be consistent with a C mode with moments aligned along [0 0 1]. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a canted antiferromagnetic ground state, for which the ferromagnetic component shows unusually high coercivity. The thermal stability of CoSb{sub 2}O{sub 4} in air is reported. The substitution of Pb{sup 2+} for Sb{sup 3+} has been investigated and found to cause oxidation of both Co{sup 2+} to Co{sup 3+} and Sb{sup 3+} to Sb{sup 5+}. - Graphical Abstract: Structural changes on substitution of Pb{sup 2+} ions for Sb{sup 3+} ions in CoSb{sub 2}O{sub 4}. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The structural details of CoSb{sub 2}O{sub 4} are reported for the first time. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The magnetic structure of CoSb{sub 2}O{sub 4} are reported for the first time. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The ordered magnetic structure has a canted antiferromagnetic arrangement. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The ferromagnetic component of the ordered arrangement has high coercivity. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Pb{sup 2+} can substitute for Sb{sup 3+} and oxidation of both Co{sup 2+} and Sb{sup 3+} occurs.
