Nd5(PtIn2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. There are three inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1), two equivalent In(1), and four equivalent In(2) atoms. In the second Nd site, Nd(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pt(1), two equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. In the third Nd site, Nd(3) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent In(1) and four equivalent In(2) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(1), four equivalent Nd(2), one In(2), and two equivalent In(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(1), two equivalent Nd(3), four equivalent Nd(2), two equivalent Pt(1), and one In(2) atom. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(2), two equivalent Nd(3), four equivalent Nd(1), one Pt(1), and one In(1) atom.
