A new basic Nd{sup 3+} nitrate, [Nd{sub 6}O(OH){sub 8}(H{sub 2}O){sub 14}(NO{sub 3}){sub 6}](NO{sub 3}){sub 2} . 2H{sub 2}O (I), is isolated in the crystal form and studied. Compound I differs from the basic Ln nitrates containing [Ln{sub 6}O(OH){sub 8}] clusters in that it involves a larger number of water molecules. The incorporation of additional water molecules is accompanied by changes in the coordination environment of one of the three crystallographically independent Nd{sup 3+} cations. Two cations have coordination polyhedra in the form of a monocapped tetragonal antiprism with a coordination number of 9, and the third cation has a polyhedron in the form of a bicapped tetragonal antiprism with a coordination number of 10.
