ScAgO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) and one Ag(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Sc(1) and two equivalent Ag(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSc2Ag2 tetrahedra.
