Dineodymium tritelluride,Nd2Te3

From a single‐crystal study, Nd₂Te₃ is found to be isostructural with Gd₂Te₃, crystallizing in the U₂S₃ structure type. Each of the two non‐equivalent Nd atoms is surrounded by seven Te atoms, with the polyhedra best described as a seven‐octahedron and a monocapped trigonal prism. All atoms lie on mirror planes.
