NdPdIn crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Pd and six In atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.96–2.98 Å. There are a spread of Nd–In bond distances ranging from 3.33–3.39 Å. In the second Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Pd and six In atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and three longer (2.98 Å) Nd–Pd bond lengths. There are a spread of Nd–In bond distances ranging from 3.34–3.40 Å. In the third Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Pd and six In atoms. There are three shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (2.98 Å) Nd–Pd bond lengths. There are a spread of Nd–In bond distances ranging from 3.33–3.39 Å. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Nd and three In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.15 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three Nd and six In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.21 Å. In the third Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Nd and six In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.20 Å. There are three inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Nd and five Pd atoms. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Nd and five Pd atoms. In the third In site, In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Nd and five Pd atoms.
