ScOF is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Sc(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ScO3F3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-60°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms. F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.

Sc(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ScO3F3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-60°. There are a spread of Sc(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 1.97-2.03 Å. There are two shorter (2.17 Å) and one longer (2.26 Å) Sc(1)-F(1) bond length. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms. F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) atoms.
