Nd3Al crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AlNd12 cuboctahedra.
Nd3Al crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. There are a spread of Nd(1)-Nd(1) bond distances ranging from 3.30-3.83 Å. There are two shorter (3.28 Å) and two longer (3.57 Å) Nd(1)-Al(1) bond lengths. Al(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AlNd12 cuboctahedra.
