Ca3Nd4Nb6(FeO14)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded to eight O atoms to form distorted CaO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share an edgeedge with one CaO8 hexagonal bipyramid, edges with four NdO8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with two FeO6 octahedra, and edges with four NbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.76 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded to eight O atoms to form distorted CaO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent CaO8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four NdO8 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with six NbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.70 Å. There are three inequivalent Nd sites.
