YbScAl4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Sc(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Sc(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing AlYb3Sc3Al6 cuboctahedra.
YbScAl4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. All Yb(1)-Sc(1) bond lengths are 3.37 Å. All Yb(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 3.22 Å. Sc(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. All Sc(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 3.22 Å. Al(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Sc(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing AlYb3Sc3Al6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.74 Å) and three longer (2.75 Å) Al(1)-Al(1) bond lengths.
