NiSnO3 is Ilmenite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Sn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-62°. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted SnO6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Ni(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-62°. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ni(1) and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ONi2Sn2 trigonal pyramids.
