Materials Data on Nd3Os by Materials Project
Nd3Os is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Os atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Os bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.39 Å. In the second Nd site, Nd is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.86 Å) and one longer (2.92 Å) Nd–Os bond lengths. Os is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Nd atoms.
