NdPdGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1), four equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1), one Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
NdPdGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1), four equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. All Nd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 3.30 Å. There are two shorter (3.26 Å) and two longer (3.33 Å) Nd(1)-Ge(2) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.28 Å) and four longer (3.31 Å) Nd(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1), one Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. The Pd(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 2.44 Å. All Pd(1)-Ge(2) bond lengths are 2.52 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Both Ge(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.52 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
