Nd2(OF)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. There are two inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent O(1) and six equivalent F(1) atoms. In the second Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) and three equivalent F(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Nd(1) and two equivalent Nd(2) atoms. F(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Nd(2) and two equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
Nd2(OF)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. There are two inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent O(1) and six equivalent F(1) atoms. All Nd(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.45 Å. All Nd(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.54 Å. In the second Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) and three equivalent F(1) atoms. All Nd(2)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.44 Å. All Nd(2)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.40 Å. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Nd(1) and two equivalent Nd(2) atoms. F(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Nd(2) and two equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
