UNd3(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. U(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Nd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to one U(1) and three equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ONd3U tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
