Be4CuIn is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Be(1) is bonded to six equivalent Be(1), three equivalent Cu(1), and three equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing BeBe6In3Cu3 cuboctahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Be(1) and four equivalent In(1) atoms. In(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Be(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
