Nd2Cu2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cu(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Cu(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdNd8Cu4 cuboctahedra.
Nd2Cu2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cu(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and four longer (3.00 Å) Nd(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths. All Nd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.42 Å. Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Cu(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Cu(1)-Cu(1) bond length is 2.55 Å. Both Cu(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdNd8Cu4 cuboctahedra.
