Au4Sc crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing ScAu12 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
Au4Sc crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing ScAu12 cuboctahedra. There are eight shorter (2.91 Å) and four longer (2.95 Å) Sc(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. Au(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
