NdTeCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form distorted TeNd5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form ClNd4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids.
NdTeCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.26 Å) and four longer (3.33 Å) Nd(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. All Nd(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.98 Å. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form distorted TeNd5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form ClNd4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Cl(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent Te(1)Nd5 trigonal bipyramids.
