LiCuSbO4 is Hausmannite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cu(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 55-62°. Cu(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cu(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. 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 Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cu(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(1), two equivalent Cu(1), and one Sb(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLiCu2Sb tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Cu(1), and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms.
