MnSbO4 is beta Vanadium nitride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°. Sb(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted SbO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-29°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms.
