The material described by LiNdSn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1), one Sn(2), and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Nd(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), four equivalent Sn(1), and six equivalent Sn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing SnLi4Nd4 tetrahedra. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Li(1) and six equivalent Nd(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
