Materials Data on ScS2NO8 by Materials Project
(Sc(SO4)2)2N2 crystallizes in the trigonal P321 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one ammonia molecule and one Sc(SO4)2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the Sc(SO4)2 sheet, Sc3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form distorted ScO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SO4 tetrahedra. All Sc–O bond lengths are 2.11 Å. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. There is one shorter (1.45 Å) and three longer (1.50 Å) S–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc3+ and one S6+ atom.
