The crystal structure described by MgSb2(RhO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3) and two equivalent O(4) atoms. In the second Rh site, Rh(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form RhO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Sb(2)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(6), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Rh(2)O6 octahedra. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Mg(1), one Rh(2), and one Sb(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one Mg(1), one Rh(2), and one Sb(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Rh(1), one Rh(2), and one Sb(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), one Rh(1), one Sb(1), and one Sb(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Rh(2) and one Sb(2) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Rh(2), one Sb(1), and one Sb(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
