The structure described by NdBaCo2O5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmm2 space group. Ba(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), two equivalent O(5), and four equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Co(1)O5 square pyramids, and faces with four equivalent Co(2)O5 trigonal bipyramids. Nd(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO5 square pyramids that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O5 square pyramids,  a cornercorner with one Co(2)O5 trigonal bipyramid, and faces with four equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to one O(4), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form CoO5 trigonal bipyramids that share  a cornercorner with one Co(1)O5 square pyramid, corners with four equivalent Co(2)O5 trigonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Nd(1), and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Nd(1), and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Nd(1), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1), one Co(1), and one Co(2) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OBa4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), two equivalent Nd(1), and two equivalent Co(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
