La2ZnSbO6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. La(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to nine equivalent O(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 31°. Sb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 31°. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1), one Zn(1), and one Sb(1) atom.
