The material described by NdP2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(2) and five equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1), one P(1), and one P(2) atom. In the second P site, P(1) is bonded to five equivalent Nd(1) and one P(2) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing PNd5P pentagonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
