The structure described by Nd3Te4 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Nd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing NdTe8 hexagonal bipyramids. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing TeNd6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-49°. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
