ScI2 is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Sc(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 44°. I(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.

Sc(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 44°. There are four shorter (2.95 Å) and two longer (3.00 Å) Sc(1)-I(1) bond lengths. I(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
