Exemplarily, the structure of ScCu0.76In1.17 was refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data, revealing strong anisotropic displacements for the scandium atoms and a mixed occupied Cu/In site. Superstructure formation is observed at low temperatures. The ScCu0.78In1.14 and ScCu0.76In1.16 structures were refined from diffraction data recorded at 90 K.

The Cu/In filled trigonal Sc6 prisms are strongly distorted in the superstructure, resulting from pairwise dislocation of the Cu/In atoms from ideal positions within an equidistant chain to shorter (311.0 pm) and longer (392.8 pm) Cu/In–Cu/In distances. Single crystal data of the Heusler phases ScCu1.95In and ScCu1.94In show small degrees of copper vacancies.

Abstract
The intermetallic scandium compounds Sc1.024Ir2In0.976 and Sc3Ir1.467In4 were synthesized by reactions of the elements in sealed tantalum ampoules at high temperature followed by annealing for crystal growth. Both structures were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: MnCu2Al type,

The structure of Sc3Ir1.467In4 is closely related to that of Sc3Rh1.594In4 and belongs to the large family of ZrNiAl superstructures. The striking structural motif is the ordered stacking of empty In6 and filled Ir@In6 prisms with Ir–In distances of 269 pm.
