SmScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 36-39°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sm(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSm2Sc2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
SmScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.29 Å) and one longer (2.39 Å) Sm(1)-O(1) bond length. There are a spread of Sm(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.33-2.86 Å. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 36-39°. Both Sc(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.12 Å. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Sc(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sm(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSm2Sc2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
