The material described by Nd(Mg4Al3)4 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Nd(Mg4Al3)4 clusters. There are ten inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(3) atom. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Nd(1) and one Al(2) atom. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg(1) and one Al(2) atom. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Nd(1) and two equivalent Al(3) atoms. In the fifth Mg site, Mg(5) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(10) atom. In the sixth Mg site, Mg(6) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al(4) and one Al(5) atom.
