Nd3Cl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ClNd12 cuboctahedra.
Nd3Cl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.31 Å) and two longer (3.64 Å) Nd(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. Cl(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ClNd12 cuboctahedra.
