Nd4Si4N7O3Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Nd3+ sites. In the first Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded to three N3-, three O2-, and one Cl1- atom to form distorted NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent NdN4ClO2 hexagonal pyramids, corners with two equivalent NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with three SiN3O tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NdN4ClO2 hexagonal pyramid, an edgeedge with one NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramid, and edges with three SiN3O tetrahedra. There are a spread of Nd–N bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.62 Å. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.55 Å. The Nd–Cl bond length is 2.95 Å. In the second Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four N3-, two O2-, and one Cl1- atom. There are a spread of Nd–N bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.62 Å. There are one shorter (2.56 Å) and one longer (2.57 Å) Nd–O bond lengths. The Nd–Cl bond length is 3.28 Å. In the third Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded to four N3-, two O2-, and one Cl1- atom to form distorted NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramids, corners with three SiN3O tetrahedra, edges with two NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramids, and edges with three SiN3O tetrahedra. There are a spread of Nd–N bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.70 Å. There are one shorter (2.30 Å) and one longer (2.56 Å) Nd–O bond lengths. The Nd–Cl bond length is 2.96 Å. In the fourth Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded to four N3-, two O2-, and one Cl1- atom to form distorted NdN4ClO2 hexagonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramids, corners with two equivalent NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with three SiN3O tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramid, an edgeedge with one NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramid, and edges with three SiN3O tetrahedra. There are a spread of Nd–N bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.60 Å. There are one shorter (2.56 Å) and one longer (2.58 Å) Nd–O bond lengths. The Nd–Cl bond length is 3.03 Å. There are four inequivalent Si4+ sites.

There is one shorter (1.70 Å) and two longer (1.71 Å) Si–N bond length. The Si–O bond length is 1.67 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form SiN4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NdN4ClO2 hexagonal pyramid, a cornercorner with one NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with three SiN3O tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NdN4ClO2 hexagonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Si–N bond distances ranging from 1.71–1.77 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to three N3- and one O2- atom to form SiN3O tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramid, a cornercorner with one NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with three SiN3O tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one NdN4ClO2 pentagonal bipyramid. There is two shorter (1.72 Å) and one longer (1.73 Å) Si–N bond length. The Si–O bond length is 1.69 Å. In the fourth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to three N3- and one O2- atom to form SiN3O tetrahedra that share corners with two NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramids, corners with three SiN3O tetrahedra, and edges with two NdN3ClO3 hexagonal pyramids. There is two shorter (1.71 Å) and one longer (1.75 Å) Si–N bond length. The Si–O bond length is 1.69 Å. There are seven inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Nd3+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Nd3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Nd3+ and two Si4+ atoms.
