Dineodymium tritelluride, Nd2Te3.
From a single-crystal study, Nd(2)Te(3) is found to be isostructural with Gd(2)Te(3), crystallizing in the U(2)S(3) 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.
