The material structure described by MgCrSbO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 8-17°. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Mg(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 distorted SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Sb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 8-17°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1), one Cr(1), and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OMg2CrSb2 square pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one Mg(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and one Sb(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
