ScNi4In is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent In(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Sc(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NiSc3In3Ni6 cuboctahedra. In(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
ScNi4In is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent In(1) atoms. All Sc(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. All Sc(1)-In(1) bond lengths are 2.96 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Sc(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NiSc3In3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.41 Å) and three longer (2.42 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All Ni(1)-In(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. In(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
