Y Y Sc Ge
Y2ScGe is alpha Niobium phosphide-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Y2ScGe clusters. Y(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Y(1) and one Sc(1) atom. The Y(1)-Y(1) bond length is 1.44 Å. The Y(1)-Sc(1) bond length is 2.01 Å. Sc(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one Ge(1) atom. The Sc(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.41 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sc(1) atom.
