LuPdIn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Pd and six In atoms. There are four shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (3.20 Å) Lu–Pd bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.14 Å) and four longer (3.35 Å) Lu–In bond lengths. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Pd and six In atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.16 Å. There are a spread of Lu–In bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.36 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Lu and three In atoms. There are two shorter (2.89 Å) and one longer (2.90 Å) Pd–In bond lengths. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three Lu and six In atoms. There are four shorter (2.74 Å) and two longer (2.75 Å) Pd–In bond lengths. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Lu and four Pd atoms. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Lu and four Pd atoms.
