YbNdO2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Nd(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Nd(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-4°. Nd(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form NdO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Nd(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Nd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-4°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OYb3Nd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-4°.
