description: DyFe6Sn6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded to twelve Fe and eight Sn atoms to form distorted DyFe12Sn8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent DyFe12Sn8 hexagonal bipyramids, faces with twenty-four FeDy2Fe4Sn6 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent DyFe12Sn8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are eight shorter (3.51 Å) and four longer (3.52 Å) Dy–Fe bond lengths. There are a spread of Dy–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.16 Å.
