The compound described by Li5Ni3(SbO5)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are three inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li(3), one Ni(2), two equivalent Sb(1), and one O(4) atom. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), one Sb(1), one O(1), one O(2), and one O(5) atom. In the third Li site, Li(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Sb(1), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(2), two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Sb(1), and two equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), one Ni(1), one Ni(2), one Sb(1), one O(4), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Li(2), one Li(3), two equivalent Li(1), one Ni(1), one Ni(2), one O(1), and one O(3) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li(2), one Ni(1), one Sb(1), and one O(4) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li(2), two equivalent Ni(2), and one O(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Sb(1) and one O(5) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one Ni(2), and one O(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li(2), one Li(3), and one O(3) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
