Nd(NiSb)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Nd–Sb bond lengths are 3.41 Å. Ni+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiSb4 tetrahedra. All Ni–Sb bond lengths are 2.50 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd3+, four equivalent Ni+1.50+, and one Sb3- atom. The Sb–Sb bond length is 2.91 Å.
