ScNi2SbO6 is Corundum-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. Sc(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted ScO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ni(2)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Ni(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-62°. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted NiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Ni(2)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Sc(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-59°. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Sc(1)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Sc(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-62°. Sb(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Sc(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Ni(2)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Ni(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-59°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Sc(1), one Ni(1), one Ni(2), and one Sb(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Sc(1), one Ni(1), one Ni(2), and one Sb(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OScNi2Sb trigonal pyramids.
