The crystal structure described by HoNi9In2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 20-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ni(2), eight equivalent Ni(3), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ni(2), four equivalent Ni(3), and four equivalent In(1) atoms to form NiIn4Ni8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent Ni(1)In4Ni8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ho(1), one Ni(1), three equivalent Ni(2), four equivalent Ni(3), and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form distorted NiHo2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ni(1)In4Ni8 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Ni(1)In4Ni8 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra. In the third Ni site, Ni(3) is bonded to two equivalent Ho(1), one Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(3), four equivalent Ni(2), and three equivalent In(1) atoms to form distorted NiHo2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Ni(1)In4Ni8 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra, edges with five equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent Ni(1)In4Ni8 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent Ni(3)Ho2In3Ni7 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Ni(2)Ho2In2Ni8 cuboctahedra. In(1) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1), two equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ni(2), six equivalent Ni(3), and one In(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
