Nd3I crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent I(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing INd12 cuboctahedra.
Nd3I crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent I(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.54 Å) and two longer (3.55 Å) Nd(1)-I(1) bond lengths. I(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing INd12 cuboctahedra.
