Materials Data on K2ScInBr6 by Materials Project
K2ScInBr6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted KBr12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent KBr12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent KBr12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ScBr6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent InBr6 octahedra. All K–Br bond lengths are 4.10 Å. Sc3+ is bonded to six equivalent Br1- atoms to form ScBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent InBr6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KBr12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Sc–Br bond lengths are 2.66 Å. In1+ is bonded to six equivalent Br1- atoms to form InBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ScBr6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KBr12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All In–Br bond lengths are 3.13 Å. Br1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent K1+, one Sc3+, and one In1+ atom.
