LiCoSbO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 56-60°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. Sb(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Li(1), two equivalent Co(1), and one Sb(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLiCo2Sb trigonal pyramids.
