The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sb(C6H5)3(C10H9O3)2]·C6H6, contains one organometallic molecule and one benzene molecule that is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.556 (15):0.444 (15). The SbV atom is in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal environment with the carboxylate O atoms in axial positions and phenyl C atoms in the equatorial plane. As a result of additional SbO interactions, one of the C—Sb—C angles is widened to 140.19 (6)°.
