ScF3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic C222 space group. Sc(1) is bonded to four equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ScF8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
ScF3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic C222 space group. Sc(1) is bonded to four equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ScF8 hexagonal bipyramids. All Sc(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.08 Å. All Sc(1)-F(2) bond lengths are 2.50 Å. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
