The structure described by Co3SbO8 is Rutile-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(6), and one O(8) atom to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Sb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(3)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 53-54°. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Sb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(3)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), one O(6), and one O(7) atom to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Sb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. Sb(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(5), one O(6), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Co(3)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Co(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Co(2)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Co(3)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 53-54°. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1), one Co(3), and one Sb(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), and one Sb(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), and one Co(3) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), and one Co(3) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co(2), one Co(3), and one Sb(1) atom.
