NdYO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Nd(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form NdO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Nd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Y(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form YO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nd(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Nd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Y(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Nd(1) and three equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ONd3Y3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
