Materials Data on Sc2InC by Materials Project
Sc2InC is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent In and three equivalent C atoms. All Sc–In bond lengths are 3.26 Å. All Sc–C bond lengths are 2.29 Å. In is bonded to six equivalent Sc and six equivalent In atoms to form distorted InSc6In6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent InSc6In6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent CSc6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent InSc6In6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent CSc6 octahedra, and faces with six equivalent InSc6In6 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 21°. All In–In bond lengths are 3.35 Å. C is bonded to six equivalent Sc atoms to form CSc6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent InSc6In6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent InSc6In6 cuboctahedra, and edges with six equivalent CSc6 octahedra.
