NdIn2Cl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Nd(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing NdCl7 pentagonal bipyramids. In(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(4), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nd(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Nd(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Nd(1) and four equivalent In(1) atoms. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Nd(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms.
