YbPtIn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and ten equivalent In(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent In(1) atoms. In(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
YbPtIn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and ten equivalent In(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.90 Å) and two longer (3.07 Å) Yb(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Yb(1)-In(1) bond distances ranging from 3.31-3.45 Å.
