The compound described by LiCo5SbO8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent O(3), and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(3)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra. Sb(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Co(3)O6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Co(2)O6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(1), one Co(1), one Co(2), one Co(3), and one Sb(1) atom to form OLiCo3Sb square pyramids that share  a cornercorner with one O(3)LiCo4 square pyramid, corners with five equivalent O(1)LiCo3Sb square pyramids, corners with three equivalent O(2)Co3Sb tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent O(1)LiCo3Sb square pyramids, edges with three equivalent O(3)LiCo4 square pyramids, and  an edgeedge with one O(2)Co3Sb tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), and one Sb(1) atom to form distorted OCo3Sb tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent O(3)LiCo4 square pyramids, corners with six equivalent O(1)LiCo3Sb square pyramids, corners with three equivalent O(2)Co3Sb tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one O(3)LiCo4 square pyramid, and edges with two equivalent O(1)LiCo3Sb square pyramids. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to one Li(1), one Co(1), one Co(3), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms to form OLiCo4 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent O(1)LiCo3Sb square pyramids, corners with four equivalent O(3)LiCo4 square pyramids, corners with three equivalent O(2)Co3Sb tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent O(1)LiCo3Sb square pyramids, and  an edgeedge with one O(2)Co3Sb tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
