Li2In crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(2) and four equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing LiLi4In4 tetrahedra. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Li(2), four equivalent Li(1), and seven equivalent In(1) atoms. In(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and seven equivalent Li(2) atoms.

In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(2) and four equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing LiLi4In4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and two longer (2.89 Å) Li(1)-Li(2) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Li(1)-In(1) bond lengths. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Li(2), four equivalent Li(1), and seven equivalent In(1) atoms. Both Li(2)-Li(2) bond lengths are 2.95 Å. There are a spread of Li(2)-In(1) bond distances ranging from 2.94-3.31 Å. In(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and seven equivalent Li(2) atoms.
