NdBiO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing BiO6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Nd(1) and one Bi(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Nd(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ONd2Bi2 tetrahedra.
NdBiO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.40 Å) Nd(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.47 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Nd(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Bi(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing BiO6 octahedra. Both Bi(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.05 Å. There are two shorter (2.13 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Bi(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Nd(1) and one Bi(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Nd(1) and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ONd2Bi2 tetrahedra.
