KInCl3 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl1- atoms to form KCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight InCl6 octahedra. All K–Cl bond lengths are 3.91 Å. There are two inequivalent In2+ sites. In the first In2+ site, In2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form InCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent InCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All In–Cl bond lengths are 2.97 Å. In the second In2+ site, In2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form InCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent InCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All In–Cl bond lengths are 2.56 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent K1+ and two In2+ atoms.
