La2Ni2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent In(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent In(1) atoms. In(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing InLa8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
La2Ni2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent In(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and four longer (2.98 Å) La(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All La(1)-In(1) bond lengths are 3.40 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent In(1) atoms. The Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond length is 2.57 Å. Both Ni(1)-In(1) bond lengths are 3.02 Å. In(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing InLa8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
