Nd3Au crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Au(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing AuNd12 cuboctahedra.
Nd3Au crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Au(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.29 Å) and two longer (3.53 Å) Nd(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. Au(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing AuNd12 cuboctahedra.
