HoSbO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), three equivalent O(3), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 41-48°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ho(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to three equivalent Ho(1) and one Sb(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OHo3Sb tetrahedra. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho(1) and one Sb(1) atom.
