The material described by Sc2Te3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-7°. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
