NdBS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1), three equivalent S(2), and three equivalent S(3) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Nd(1) and one B(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nd(1) and one B(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nd(1) and one B(1) atom.
NdBS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1), three equivalent S(2), and three equivalent S(3) atoms. There are a spread of Nd(1)-S(1) bond distances ranging from 2.96-3.30 Å. There are two shorter (2.91 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) Nd(1)-S(2) bond length. There are a spread of Nd(1)-S(3) bond distances ranging from 2.88-3.04 Å. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. The B(1)-S(1) bond length is 1.80 Å. The B(1)-S(2) bond length is 1.82 Å. The B(1)-S(3) bond length is 1.82 Å. There are three inequivalent S sites.
