The single phase compound Na{sub 3}SbO(PO{sub 4}){sub 2} was prepared by a solid state reaction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1} with a = 6.964(1) {angstrom}, b = 9.284(2) {angstrom}, c = 12.425(2) {angstrom}, Z = 4. The structure was determined from 968 reflections collected on a Nonius CAD4 automatic diffractometer with MoK{alpha} radiation. The final R index and weighted R{sub w} index are 0.031 and 0.039, respectively. The structure is built up from strings of corner-sharing SbO{sub 6} octahedra to which phosphate groups are linked by two of their vertices. These chains, running parallel to the a-axis, are separated from each other by sodium atoms.
