An x-ray diffraction investigation of the neodymium complex with the tetrasulfimidato ligand, which is a member of the isostructural series Ln(HO/sub 8/S/sub 4/N/sub 4/) 8H/sub 2/O, where Ln = La through Nd, has been carried out (lambda Mo, anisotropic least-squares method, R = 0.044 on the basis of 4729 reflections). The crystals are monoclinic: a = 7.436(1), b = 15.514(3), c = 14.669(3) A, ..beta.. = 98.32(1)/sup 0/, space group P2/sub 1//c, Z = 4. The structure is based on infinite ((H/sub 7/O)/sub 5/NdS/sub 4/N/sub 4/O/sub 8/)/sub infinity//sup -/ chains and molecules of water of crystallization. The tetrasulfimidato ligand plays the role of a bis-bidentate bridge, which joints two neighboring Nd atoms. The S/sub 4/N/sub 4/ heterocycle has a coat conformation and exists in the sulfazene tautomeric form. The coordination polyhedron of the nd atom is a distorted monocapped antiprism. The lengths of the Nd-O bonds lie in the 2.460-2.543-A range. The S-N distances in the ring are equalized, and the mean value is 1.602(5) A. The chains are joined to form a framework by a system of hydrogen bonds with the participation of the molecules of water of crystallization.
