Materials Data on NdO2 by Materials Project
NdO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.72 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Nd atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ONd4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.51 Å.
