ScAgO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Sc(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form edge-sharing ScO6 octahedra. Ag(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Sc(1) and one Ag(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing OSc3Ag tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and three equivalent Ag(1) atoms.
