NdCd3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing NdCd12 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
NdCd3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing NdCd12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.23 Å) and six longer (3.39 Å) Nd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are four shorter (3.09 Å) and two longer (3.19 Å) Cd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths.
