Fe2Pb(SeO3)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.06 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.13 Å. Pb2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.86 Å. There are four inequivalent Se4+ sites. In the first Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–1.77 Å. In the second Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–1.77 Å.
