NdP3(HO2)6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(3) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Nd(1) and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Nd(1) and two equivalent H(1) atoms.
NdP3(HO2)6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(3) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. All Nd(1)-O(3) bond lengths are 2.66 Å. All Nd(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.48 Å. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.61 Å) and one longer (1.62 Å) P(1)-O(1) bond length. Both P(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.50 Å. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(3) atom. The H(1)-O(3) bond length is 0.98 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Nd(1) and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Nd(1) and two equivalent H(1) atoms.
