The compound described by NdCd2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Nd(1) is bonded to two equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted NdNd2Cd6 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent Nd(1)Nd2Cd6 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Nd3Cd5 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with six equivalent Nd(1)Nd2Cd6 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with eighteen equivalent Cd(1)Nd3Cd5 hexagonal bipyramids. Cd(1) is bonded to three equivalent Nd(1) and five equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted CdNd3Cd5 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent Nd(1)Nd2Cd6 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with five equivalent Cd(1)Nd3Cd5 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with nine equivalent Nd(1)Nd2Cd6 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with fifteen equivalent Cd(1)Nd3Cd5 hexagonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
