Pu3Sc is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Pu sites. In the first Pu site, Pu(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Pu(2) and four equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second Pu site, Pu(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pu(1) and six equivalent Sc(1) atoms. Sc(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Pu(2) and eight equivalent Pu(1) atoms.
