The crystal structure described by YScN2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form YN6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sc(1)N6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Y(1)N6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Sc(1)N6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. Sc(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form ScN6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)N6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Y(1)N6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Sc(1)N6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Y(1) and three equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NY3Sc3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
