Ba3SbI3 crystallizes in the cubic I4_132 space group. Ba(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sb(1) and four equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing BaSb2I4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 2°. Sb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form edge-sharing SbBa6 octahedra. I(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 2°. Both Ba(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 3.46 Å. There are two shorter (3.54 Å) and two longer (3.64 Å) Ba(1)-I(1) bond lengths. Sb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form edge-sharing SbBa6 octahedra. I(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) atoms.
