title: Trilithium scandium bis-(orthoborate).
abstract: Single crystals of the title compound, Li(3)Sc(BO(3))(2), have been obtained by spontaneous nucleation from a high-temperature melt. The title compound adopts a framework structure and is composed of distorted [ScO(6)] octa-hedra, [LiO(4)] tetra-hedra, [LiO(4)] recta-ngles and isolated [BO(3)] triangles. Except for the Sc and one Li atom (both on inversion centres), all atoms are in general positions.
