The material described by ScTe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Sc(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing ScTe12 cuboctahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Te(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
