Abstract
Sc2O3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Sc3+ sites. In the first Sc3+ site, Sc3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ScO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent ScO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent ScO4 tetrahedra, and edges with seven ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–49°. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.17 Å. In the second Sc3+ site, Sc3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ScO4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight ScO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent ScO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–69°. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.02 Å. In the third Sc3+ site, Sc3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted ScO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent ScO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent ScO4 tetrahedra, and edges with four ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–57°. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.47 Å. In the fourth Sc3+ site, Sc3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted ScO6 octahedra that sharemore »
