YbPtIn4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1), one In(2), four equivalent In(1), and six equivalent In(3) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), one In(2), and six equivalent In(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent In(3), and four equivalent In(2) atoms. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1), one Pt(1), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. In the third In site, In(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Pt(1), and one In(1) atom.
YbPtIn4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1), one In(2), four equivalent In(1), and six equivalent In(3) atoms. Both Yb(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 3.26 Å. The Yb(1)-In(2) bond length is 3.26 Å. All Yb(1)-In(1) bond lengths are 3.69 Å. There are four shorter (3.31 Å) and two longer (3.49 Å) Yb(1)-In(3) bond lengths. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), one In(2), and six equivalent In(3) atoms.
