ScTe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing ScTe12 cuboctahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Te(1) atoms.
ScTe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing ScTe12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.15 Å) and six longer (3.58 Å) Sc(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.20 Å) and four longer (3.42 Å) Te(1)-Te(1) bond lengths.
