description: Nd3SOF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Nd3+ sites. In the first Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S2-, two O2-, and five F1- atoms. Both Nd–S bond lengths are 3.00 Å. There are one shorter (2.40 Å) and one longer (2.43 Å) Nd–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Nd–F bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.51 Å. In the second Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S2-, one O2-, and six F1- atoms. Both Nd–S bond lengths are 2.98 Å. The Nd–O bond length is 2.33 Å. There are a spread of Nd–F bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.58 Å. In the third Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S2-, one O2-, and six F1- atoms. Both Nd–S bond lengths are 2.99 Å. The Nd–O bond length is 2.34 Å. There are a spread of Nd–F bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.53 Å. In the fourth Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S2-, two equivalent O2-, and five F1- atoms. Both Nd–S bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Both Nd–O bond lengths are 2.40 Å.
