NiInCrS4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form CrS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ni(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent In(1)S6 octahedra. Ni(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form NiS4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent In(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-63°. In(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form InS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ni(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent In(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)S6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cr(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Cr(1), one Ni(1), and one In(1) atom.
