(K)2ScHgBr6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure consists of eight 7440-09-7 atoms inside a ScHgBr6 framework. In the ScHgBr6 framework, Sc(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form ScBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Hg(1)Br6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Hg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form HgBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sc(1)Br6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Br(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Sc(1) and one Hg(1) atom.
