Materials Data on Na3Sc(BO3)2 by Materials Project
Na3Sc(BO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.47 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.49–3.03 Å. Sc3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.10 Å) and two longer (2.15 Å) Sc–O bond lengths. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.38 Å) and two longer (1.39 Å) B–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Na1+, one Sc3+, and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Na1+, one Sc3+, and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Na1+, one Sc3+, and one B3+ atom.
