Title: Materials Data on Sc(AlC)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

ScAl3C3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc3+ is bonded to six equivalent C4- atoms to form ScC6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlC4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent ScC6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent AlC4 tetrahedra. All Sc–C bond lengths are 2.42 Å. There are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form AlC4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ScC6 octahedra, corners with seven equivalent AlC4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent ScC6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. There are one shorter (2.03 Å) and three longer (2.07 Å) Al–C bond lengths. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent C4- atoms. All Al–C bond lengths are 1.94 Å. There are two inequivalent C4- sites. In the first C4- site, C4- is bonded to three equivalent Sc3+ and three equivalent Al3+ atoms to form distorted CSc3Al3 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent CSc3Al3 octahedra, corners with three equivalent CAl5 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with nine equivalent CSc3Al3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In themore » second C4- site, C4- is bonded to five Al3+ atoms to form CAl5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent CSc3Al3 octahedra and corners with six equivalent CAl5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 70°.« less
