ScBr2 is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Sc(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ScBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. Br(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.

Sc(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ScBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are four shorter (2.74 Å) and two longer (2.76 Å) Sc(1)-Br(1) bond lengths. Br(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
