BaNdCuS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(2), and three equivalent S(3) atoms. Nd(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(3), and three equivalent S(2) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded to one S(2), one S(3), and two equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CuS4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Nd(1), and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), three equivalent Nd(1), and one Cu(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to three equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Nd(1), and one Cu(1) atom to form distorted edge-sharing SBa3Nd2Cu octahedra.
