Au3Sc is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ScAu12 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
Au3Sc is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ScAu12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.93 Å) and six longer (2.96 Å) Sc(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
