Materials Data on ScCl3 by Materials Project
ScCl3 is Bismuth triodide structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of three ScCl3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Sc3+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing ScCl6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.50 Å) and three longer (2.51 Å) Sc–Cl bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sc3+ atoms.
