Materials Data on Sc(Fe2P)2 by Materials Project
Sc(Fe2P)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc is bonded to six equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ScP6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are two shorter (2.73 Å) and four longer (2.78 Å) Sc–P bond lengths. Fe is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P atoms. There are one shorter (2.24 Å) and two longer (2.29 Å) Fe–P bond lengths. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc and six equivalent Fe atoms.
