CeCu5In crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 19-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cu(2), three equivalent Cu(3), three equivalent Cu(4), six equivalent Cu(1), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1), one Cu(3), two equivalent Cu(1), two equivalent Cu(2), two equivalent Cu(4), and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing CuCe3In2Cu7 cuboctahedra. In the second Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), one Cu(4), four equivalent Cu(1), and one In(1) atom. In the third Cu site, Cu(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Cu(1), two equivalent Cu(4), and three equivalent In(1) atoms. In the fourth Cu site, Cu(4) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1), one Cu(2), two equivalent Cu(3), four equivalent Cu(1), and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing CuCe3In2Cu7 cuboctahedra. In(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), one Cu(2), two equivalent Cu(4), three equivalent Cu(3), and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
