BiScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. Bi(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sc(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSc2Bi2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) and three equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
BiScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. Both Sc(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.14 Å. There are two shorter (2.14 Å) and two longer (2.15 Å) Sc(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Bi(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.27 Å) and one longer (2.56 Å) Bi(1)-O(1) bond length. There are a spread of Bi(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.32-2.86 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sc(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSc2Bi2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) and three equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
