VSbO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Sb(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-52°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), one O(6), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Sb(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-52°. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded to one O(4), one O(6), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Sb(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra.
