AlSbO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-52°. Sb(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-52°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Al(1) and one Sb(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Al(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms.
