Materials Data on ScPaO4 by Materials Project
PaScO4 is Fluorite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pa5+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All Pa–O bond lengths are 2.28 Å. Sc3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All Sc–O bond lengths are 2.27 Å. O2- is bonded to two equivalent Pa5+ and two equivalent Sc3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSc2Pa2 tetrahedra.
