Nd2NCl3 is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NNd4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Nd(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
Nd2NCl3 is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Both Nd(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There is one shorter (2.98 Å) and one longer (3.00 Å) Nd(1)-Cl(2) bond length. There are a spread of Nd(1)-Cl(1) bond distances ranging from 2.84-2.99 Å. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NNd4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
