NdNi4Cd is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Nd(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing NiNd3Cd3Ni6 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
NdNi4Cd is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Nd(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.93 Å. All Nd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Nd(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing NiNd3Cd3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.47 Å) and three longer (2.53 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All Ni(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.93 Å.
