Sc6RuTe2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are two inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second Sc site, Sc(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ru(1) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(2) and six equivalent Sc(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Sc(2) atoms.
Sc6RuTe2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are two inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. Both Sc(1)-Ru(1) bond lengths are 2.66 Å. Both Sc(1)-Te(1) bond lengths are 3.02 Å. In the second Sc site, Sc(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ru(1) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms. The Sc(2)-Ru(1) bond length is 3.00 Å. All Sc(2)-Te(1) bond lengths are 3.08 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(2) and six equivalent Sc(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Sc(2) atoms.
