Sm2SbO2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sm(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OSm4 tetrahedra.
