The new scandium(III) carbodiimides Sc2(CN2)3 and Sc2O2(CN2) were prepared by solid‐state metathesis reactions between Li2(CN2) and ScCl3 and, regarding Sc2O2(CN2), Sc2O3 was added. The X‐ray powder diffraction pattern refinements lead to a trigonal‐rhombohedral (R3c) crystal system for Sc2(CN2)3 an...
