La2Ni2In crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ni(2), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2), four equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), four equivalent La(2), one Ni(1), one Ni(2), and one In(1) atom. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(2), four equivalent La(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent In(1) atoms. In(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent La(1), four equivalent La(2), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Ni(2) atoms.

In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ni(2), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. Both La(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.96 Å. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and two longer (3.03 Å) La(1)-Ni(2) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.36 Å) and two longer (3.37 Å) La(1)-In(1) bond lengths. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2), four equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. Both La(2)-Ni(2) bond lengths are 2.98 Å. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and two longer (3.05 Å) La(2)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All La(2)-In(1) bond lengths are 3.47 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni sites.
