Sc Sc Mn Cd
Sc2MnCd is Cyanogen Chloride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Sc2MnCd clusters. There are two inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mn(1) and one Cd(1) atom. The Sc(1)-Mn(1) bond length is 0.25 Å. The Sc(1)-Cd(1) bond length is 1.36 Å. In the second Sc site, Sc(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(1) atom. The Sc(2)-Cd(1) bond length is 1.36 Å. Mn(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sc(1) atom. Cd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Sc(1) and one Sc(2) atom.
