Li3SbO3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. Li(1) is bonded to five equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LiO5 square pyramids. Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to five equivalent Li(1) and one Sb(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi5Sb octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 20°.
Li3SbO3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. Li(1) is bonded to five equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LiO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Li(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 1.90-2.18 Å. Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. All Sb(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.95 Å. O(1) is bonded to five equivalent Li(1) and one Sb(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi5Sb octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 20°.
