SmVSb3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sb(1), two equivalent Sb(2), and three equivalent Sb(3) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sb(1) and two equivalent Sb(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Sm(1) and one V(1) atom. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sm(1) and one Sb(3) atom. In the third Sb site, Sb(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm(1), two equivalent V(1), and one Sb(2) atom.
SmVSb3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sb(1), two equivalent Sb(2), and three equivalent Sb(3) atoms. Both Sm(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 3.08 Å. There is one shorter (3.12 Å) and one longer (3.13 Å) Sm(1)-Sb(2) bond length. There are two shorter (3.08 Å) and one longer (3.90 Å) Sm(1)-Sb(3) bond length. V(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sb(1) and two equivalent Sb(3) atoms. The V(1)-Sb(1) bond length is 2.71 Å. Both V(1)-Sb(3) bond lengths are 2.88 Å. There are three inequivalent Sb sites.
