NdCrS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), three equivalent S(2), and four equivalent S(3) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded to one S(3), two equivalent S(2), and three equivalent S(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CrS6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(1) and three equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nd(1) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) and one Cr(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SNd4Cr square pyramids.
NdCrS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), three equivalent S(2), and four equivalent S(3) atoms. There is one shorter (2.99 Å) and one longer (3.24 Å) Nd(1)-S(1) bond length. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and one longer (3.04 Å) Nd(1)-S(2) bond length. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and two longer (2.96 Å) Nd(1)-S(3) bond lengths. Cr(1) is bonded to one S(3), two equivalent S(2), and three equivalent S(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CrS6 octahedra. The Cr(1)-S(3) bond length is 2.38 Å. Both Cr(1)-S(2) bond lengths are 2.47 Å. There is one shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.44 Å) Cr(1)-S(1) bond lengths. There are three inequivalent S sites.
