NdOCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent Cl(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ONd4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
NdOCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent Cl(1) atoms. All Nd(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There is one shorter (3.08 Å) and four longer (3.16 Å) Nd(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ONd4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
