Nd2Ni2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdNd8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
Nd2Ni2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.90 Å) and four longer (2.94 Å) Nd(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All Nd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.35 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond length is 2.43 Å. Both Ni(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdNd8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
