The crystal structure described by Nd3Au is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NdAu4 cuboctahedra. In the second Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Au(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(2) and eight equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing AuNd12 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
