Materials Data on ScH3(CO2)3 by Materials Project

Sc(OOCH)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of three Sc(OOCH)3 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Sc3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All Sc–O bond lengths are 2.10 Å. C2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H1+ and two equivalent O2- atoms. The C–H bond length is 1.11 Å. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.26 Å. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ atom. O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc3+ and one C2+ atom.
