LaSbO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form edge-sharing SbO6 octahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one La(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent La(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one La(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1) and one Sb(1) atom.
