LuSbO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), three equivalent O(3), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-50°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Lu(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Lu(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and one Sb(1) atom.
