[Cat][Sc(BH4)4], [Cat] = [Me4N], [n-Bu4N] and [Ph4P] were prepared and purified.
The crystal structures of above compounds were solved and refined from powder data.
These compounds decompose thermally above 175 °C with emission of organic products.
[n-Bu4N][Sc(BH4)4] melts at 88 °C which renders it a rare scandium-based ionic liquid.
