The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–9°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.31 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Nd3+ and two equivalent Cu+2.33+ atoms to form distorted ONd4Cu2 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent ONd4Cu2 octahedra, a cornercorner with one ONd4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one ONd4Cu2 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent ONd4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 2°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five Nd3+ and one Cu+2.33+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five Nd3+ and one Cu+2.33+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Nd3+ and two equivalent Cu+2.33+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing ONd4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 2°. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Nd3+ atoms to form ONd4 tetrahedra that share corners with three ONd4Cu2 octahedra, corners with two equivalent ONd4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent ONd4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–65°. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Nd3+ and one Cu+2.33+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Nd3+ and two Cu+2.33+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Nd3+ and two equivalent Cu+2.33+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Nd3+ and one Cu+2.33+ atom.
