Materials Data on ScSi by Materials Project
ScSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to seven equivalent Si atoms. There are five shorter (2.77 Å) and two longer (2.96 Å) Sc–Si bond lengths. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven equivalent Sc and two equivalent Si atoms. Both Si–Si bond lengths are 2.44 Å.
