Hg(SbO3)2 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. Hg(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form HgO6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. Sb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Hg(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Hg(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms.
