ScB2C crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mbc space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent B(1), six equivalent B(2), and four equivalent C(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to six equivalent Sc(1) and one C(1) atom. C(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1), one B(2), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
ScB2C crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mbc space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent B(1), six equivalent B(2), and four equivalent C(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.49 Å) and two longer (2.50 Å) Sc(1)-B(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Sc(1)-B(2) bond distances ranging from 2.62-2.65 Å. There are two shorter (2.45 Å) and two longer (2.46 Å) Sc(1)-C(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. There is one shorter (1.60 Å) and one longer (1.61 Å) B(1)-C(1) bond length. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to six equivalent Sc(1) and one C(1) atom. The B(2)-C(1) bond length is 1.57 Å. C(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1), one B(2), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
