The structure described by ScNiSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1), four equivalent Ni(2), and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1) and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Ni(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
