Materials Data on Sc(SeO3)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sc(SeO3)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.12 Å. There are three inequivalent Se+5.33+ sites. In the first Se+5.33+ site, Se+5.33+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–1.71 Å. In the second Se+5.33+ site, Se+5.33+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.66 Å) and two longer (1.70 Å) Se–O bond length. In the third Se+5.33+ site, Se+5.33+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.68 Å) and two longer (1.70 Å) Se–O bond length. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se+5.33+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc2+ and one Se+5.33+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Sc2+ and one Se+5.33+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se+5.33+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc2+ and one Se+5.33+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc2+ and one Se+5.33+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se+5.33+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc2+ and one Se+5.33+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc2+ and one Se+5.33+ atom.
