Materials Data on ScBr2 by Materials Project
ScBr2 is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc2+ is bonded to six equivalent Br1- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ScBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are four shorter (2.74 Å) and two longer (2.78 Å) Sc–Br bond lengths. Br1- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sc2+ atoms.
