NdS2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and five equivalent S(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(2) is bonded to five equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SNd5 trigonal bipyramids. In the second S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and one S(1) atom.
NdS2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and five equivalent S(2) atoms. There are a spread of Nd(1)-S(1) bond distances ranging from 2.86-3.17 Å. There are a spread of Nd(1)-S(2) bond distances ranging from 2.85-3.13 Å. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(2) is bonded to five equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SNd5 trigonal bipyramids. In the second S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and one S(1) atom. The S(1)-S(1) bond length is 2.13 Å.
