Title: Materials Data on MgSc2O4 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgSc2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.66 Å. There are two inequivalent Sc3+ sites. In the first Sc3+ site, Sc3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–66°. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.20 Å. In the second Sc3+ site, Sc3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–66°. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.16 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and three Sc3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Mg2+ and three equivalent Sc3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg2Sc3 square pyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and three Sc3+ atoms.
