ScPtSn is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Pt(1) and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded to four equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form distorted PtSc4Sn6 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Sn(1)Sc4Pt6 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Pt(1)Sc4Sn6 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Sn(1)Sc4Pt6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Pt(1)Sc4Sn6 tetrahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form distorted SnSc4Pt6 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pt(1)Sc4Sn6 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Sn(1)Sc4Pt6 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Pt(1)Sc4Sn6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Sn(1)Sc4Pt6 tetrahedra.
