Each Sc3+ ion in the title salt, [Sc2(NO3)2(OH)2(H2O)6]Cl2, is coordinated by a nitrate anion, two hydroxide ions and three water molecules to generate a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal ScO7 coordination polyhedron. The complete {[(NO3)(μ-OH)Sc(H2O)3]2}2+ ion is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The nitrate anion binds in a bidentate fashion whereas the hydroxide ions are bridged between two Sc centers.
