Materials Data on Nd2CdSe4 by Materials Project
Nd2CdSe4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Se bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.35 Å. Cd2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Se2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.83 Å) and four longer (3.41 Å) Cd–Se bond lengths. Se2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd3+ and two equivalent Cd2+ atoms.
