Ba4NdY(CuO2)8 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.03 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.99 Å. Nd3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. All Nd–O bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Y3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. All Y–O bond lengths are 2.44 Å. There are four inequivalent Cu+2.25+ sites. In the first Cu+2.25+ site, Cu+2.25+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form corner-sharing CuO5 square pyramids. There are four shorter (1.98 Å) and one longer (2.29 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. In the second Cu+2.25+ site, Cu+2.25+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form corner-sharing CuO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.27 Å. In the third Cu+2.25+ site, Cu+2.25+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.97 Å. In the fourth Cu+2.25+ site, Cu+2.25+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–1.97 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and three Cu+2.25+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and three Cu+2.25+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Y3+, and two equivalent Cu+2.25+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Nd3+, and two equivalent Cu+2.25+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ba2+ and two Cu+2.25+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ba2+ and two Cu+2.25+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Y3+, and two equivalent Cu+2.25+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Nd3+, and two equivalent Cu+2.25+ atoms.
