KSc(BH4)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two KSc(BH4)4 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. K1+ is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two H+0.50+ atoms. There are one shorter (2.59 Å) and one longer (2.63 Å) K–H bond lengths. Sc3+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve H+0.50+ atoms. There are a spread of Sc–H bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.43 Å. There are three inequivalent B3- sites. In the first B3- site, B3- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four H+0.50+ atoms. There are a spread of B–H bond distances ranging from 1.20–1.24 Å. In the second B3- site, B3- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four H+0.50+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.20 Å) and three longer (1.24 Å) B–H bond length. In the third B3- site, B3- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four H+0.50+ atoms. There are a spread of B–H bond distances ranging from 1.21–1.24 Å. There are ten inequivalent H+0.50+ sites. In the first H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sc3+ and one B3- atom. In the second H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sc3+ and one B3- atom. In the third H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sc3+ and one B3- atom. In the fourth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sc3+ and one B3- atom. In the fifth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+ and one B3- atom. In the sixth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sc3+ and one B3- atom. In the seventh H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Sc3+ and one B3- atom. In the eighth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sc3+ and one B3- atom. In the ninth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3- atom. In the tenth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+ and one B3- atom.
