Sc2Ni crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the second Sc site, Sc(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Sc(2) atoms.
Sc2Ni crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All Sc(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.63 Å. In the second Sc site, Sc(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.82 Å) and two longer (3.12 Å) Sc(2)-Ni(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Sc(2) atoms.
