Subsolidus phase relation studies in the NaSb{sub 3}O{sub 7}-Na{sub 3}SbO{sub 4}-CuO-CuSb{sub 2}O{sub 6} quadrangle of Na{sub 2}O-CuO-Sb{sub 2}O{sub n} system at 1123-1173K revealed the formation of one new compound Na{sub 3}Cu{sub 2}SbO{sub 6}. It is a superstructure derived from {alpha}-NaFeO{sub 2} type, space group C2/m, lattice constants: a=5.6759(1)A, b=8.8659(1)A, c=5.8379(1)A, {beta}=113.289(1){sup o}. All ions are in octahedral environment, but CuO{sub 6} polyhedron exhibits strong elongation due to Jahn-Teller effect (Cu-O: 2.000(2)Ax2, 2.021(2)Ax2, 2.494(3)Ax2), whereas SbO{sub 6} octahedron is almost regular. The relationship to other similar superlattices is discussed.
