Nd3W(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. W(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Nd(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ONd3W tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
Nd3W(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are a spread of Nd(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.41-2.65 Å. There is one shorter (2.95 Å) and three longer (3.04 Å) Nd(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. W(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. All W(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.97 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Nd(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ONd3W tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
