KNdTe2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. K(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form KTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nd(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent K(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Nd(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 8°. Nd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form NdTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent K(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent K(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Nd(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 8°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and three equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing TeK3Nd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
