In this work we report synthesis and crystal structure of compounds La₆Co₁₃In, La_5-δCo_xIn_3-x and La₃Co_xIn_1-x. From X-ray single crystal data: La₆Co₁₃In crystallizes in the structure type of Nd₆Fe₁₃Si, I4/mcm, Z=4, a = 8.1190(4), c = 23.7022(15) Å; La_5-δCo_xIn_3-x in the tetragonal structure type of W₅Si₃, I4/mcm, Z = 4, a = 12.9644(3), c = 6.1553(2) Å at δ = 0.125(15) and x = 0.06(3), and a = 12.9976(5), c = 6.1229(7) Å at δ = 0.275(15) and x = 0.10(3), La₃Co_xIn_1-x is the solid solution of Co in La₃In, which crystallizes in the cubic structure type of Cu₃Au, Pm-3m, Z=1, a = 5.0762(1) Å at x = 0.05.
