description: DyCd6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to seventeen Cd atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.65 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to sixteen Cd atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.28–3.66 Å. In the third Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to sixteen Cd atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.27–3.61 Å. There are seventeen inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three Dy and seven Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.74–3.11 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three Dy and seven Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.14 Å. In the third Cd site, Cd is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three Dy and six Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.04 Å. In the fourth Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and nine Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.49 Å. In the fifth Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three Dy and seven Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.14 Å. In the sixth Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three Dy and eight Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.07 Å. In the seventh Cd site, Cd is bonded to two equivalent Dy and ten Cd atoms to form distorted CdDy2Cd10 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent CdDy2Cd10 cuboctahedra, an edgeedge with one CdDy2Cd10 cuboctahedra, and faces with six CdDy3Cd9 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.36 Å. In the eighth Cd site, Cd is bonded to three Dy and nine Cd atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing CdDy3Cd9 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.15 Å. In the ninth Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Dy and seven Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.72–3.00 Å. In the tenth Cd site, Cd is bonded to three Dy and nine Cd atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing CdDy3Cd9 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.22 Å. In the eleventh Cd site, Cd is bonded to three Dy and nine Cd atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing CdDy3Cd9 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.20 Å.
