The crystal structure described by YGdScSbO7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and four equivalent O(4) atoms. Y(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted YO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Sc(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(4) atoms to form ScO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Sc(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-58°. Sb(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(4) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Sc(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-52°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Gd(1) and two equivalent Y(1) atoms to form OGd2Y2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(3)Gd2Sc2 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent O(1)Gd2Y2 tetrahedra, corners with eight equivalent O(4)GdYScSb tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(3)Gd2Sc2 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent O(4)GdYScSb tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to two equivalent Gd(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form OGd2Sc2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(1)Gd2Y2 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent O(3)Gd2Sc2 tetrahedra, corners with eight equivalent O(4)GdYScSb tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(1)Gd2Y2 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent O(4)GdYScSb tetrahedra. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to one Gd(1), one Y(1), one Sc(1), and one Sb(1) atom to form distorted OGdYScSb tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(3)Gd2Sc2 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent O(1)Gd2Y2 tetrahedra, corners with eight equivalent O(4)GdYScSb tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(3)Gd2Sc2 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(1)Gd2Y2 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent O(4)GdYScSb tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
