The ternary phase with the composition Ni3InSb has been synthesized by high-temperature synthesis and structurally characterized by a combination of X-ray analysis, neutron diffraction analysis, and theoretical calculations. The crystal structure can be considered as a ternary substitutional variant of Ni3Sn2, where a trivalent In and a pentavalent Sb orderly occupy two tetravalent Sn sites of Ni3Sn2. This site decoration pattern of two neighboring elements, In and Sb, is unique and confirmed by first principles total energy calculations. The temperature-dependent neutron diffraction study down to 5 K reveals that the crystal structure remains in the same orthorhombic symmetry with a weak anomaly in the lattice parameters at ∼100 K.
