The structure described by Nd5Te2O10Cl3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are three inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), one Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. In the second Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2), four equivalent O(1), and one Cl(1) atom. In the third Nd site, Nd(3) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one O(3) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Nd(1), one Nd(3), and two equivalent Nd(2) atoms to form ONd4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent O(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent O(2)Nd3Te tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent O(2)Nd3Te tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent O(1)Nd4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Nd(1), one Nd(2), one Nd(3), and one Te(1) atom to form distorted ONd3Te tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(2)Nd3Te tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent O(1)Nd4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent O(2)Nd3Te tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent O(1)Nd4 tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Nd(1) and one Te(1) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Nd(2) and two equivalent Nd(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Nd(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
