ScF3 is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent F(2) and six equivalent F(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
ScF3 is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent F(2) and six equivalent F(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.03 Å) Sc(1)-F(2) bond length. There are a spread of Sc(1)-F(1) bond distances ranging from 2.09-2.51 Å. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
