Li3Sb2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.31 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.82 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) Li–O bond length. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.09 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.10 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.64 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.46 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 equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–45°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.58 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There is two shorter (1.54 Å) and two longer (1.58 Å) P–O bond length. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. There is two shorter (1.52 Å) and two longer (1.61 Å) P–O bond length. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.60 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLi2SbP trigonal pyramids. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLi2SbP trigonal pyramids. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLi2SbP trigonal pyramids. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Sb3+, and one P5+ atom.
