The crystal structure described by LaCu9In2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 20-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Cu(2), eight equivalent Cu(3), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cu(2), four equivalent Cu(3), and four equivalent In(1) atoms to form CuIn4Cu8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent Cu(1)In4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra. In the second Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded to two equivalent La(1), one Cu(1), three equivalent Cu(2), four equivalent Cu(3), and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form distorted CuLa2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent Cu(1)In4Cu8 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Cu(1)In4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra. In the third Cu site, Cu(3) is bonded to two equivalent La(1), one Cu(1), two equivalent Cu(3), four equivalent Cu(2), and three equivalent In(1) atoms to form CuLa2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Cu(1)In4Cu8 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra, edges with five equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent Cu(1)In4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent Cu(3)La2In3Cu7 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Cu(2)La2In2Cu8 cuboctahedra. In(1) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent Cu(1), four equivalent Cu(2), six equivalent Cu(3), and one In(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
