Materials Data on ScOF by Materials Project
ScOF is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc3+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- and three equivalent F1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ScO4F3 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.16 Å. There are a spread of Sc–F bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.30 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Sc3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OSc4 tetrahedra. F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc3+ atoms.
