NdRe2 is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(1) and nine equivalent Re(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ReNd6Re6 cuboctahedra. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1), two equivalent Re(1), and four equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ReNd6Re6 cuboctahedra.
NdRe2 is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(1) and nine equivalent Re(2) atoms. All Nd(1)-Re(1) bond lengths are 3.23 Å. There are three shorter (3.19 Å) and six longer (3.22 Å) Nd(1)-Re(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ReNd6Re6 cuboctahedra. All Re(1)-Re(2) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1), two equivalent Re(1), and four equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ReNd6Re6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.70 Å) and two longer (2.81 Å) Re(2)-Re(2) bond lengths.
