description: Dy4Ni11In20 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Ni and eleven In atoms. There are two shorter (3.14 Å) and two longer (3.30 Å) Dy–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Dy–In bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.73 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Ni and eleven In atoms. There are two shorter (3.08 Å) and two longer (3.24 Å) Dy–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Dy–In bond distances ranging from 3.11–3.68 Å. There are six inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded to four equivalent Ni and eight In atoms to form distorted face-sharing NiIn8Ni4 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.57 Å. There are a spread of Ni–In bond distances ranging from 2.64–3.08 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and eight In atoms. There are a spread of Ni–In bond distances ranging from 2.63–3.05 Å. In the third Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Ni–In bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.68 Å. In the fourth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Ni–In bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.74 Å. In the fifth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Ni–In bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.72 Å. In the sixth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three Ni and seven In atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.85 Å. There are a spread of Ni–In bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.72 Å. There are ten inequivalent In sites.
