ScSn3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ScSn12 cuboctahedra. Sn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and eight equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
ScSn3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ScSn12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.18 Å) and six longer (3.40 Å) Sc(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths. Sn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and eight equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are a spread of Sn(1)-Sn(1) bond distances ranging from 3.15-3.42 Å.
