The structure described by NdIr5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ir(2) and twelve equivalent Ir(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1), four equivalent Ir(1), and four equivalent Ir(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing IrNd4Ir8 cuboctahedra. In the second Ir site, Ir(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Ir(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
