BaLaMnSbO6 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. Ba(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) and eight equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. La(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-27°. Sb(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-27°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent La(1), one Mn(1), and one Sb(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBa2La2MnSb octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-3°. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), one La(1), one Mn(1), and one Sb(1) atom.
