The material described by CeNiIn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Ni(2), four equivalent Ni(1), and six equivalent In(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1) and six equivalent In(1) atoms. In(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), and two equivalent In(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
