Abstract

Dy is alpha Samarium structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded to twelve Dy atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.53 Å) and six longer (3.57 Å) Dy–Dy bond lengths. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded to twelve Dy atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (3.52 Å) and six longer (3.57 Å) Dy–Dy bond lengths. In the third Dy site, Dy is bonded to twelve Dy atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Dy–Dy bond distances ranging from 3.52–3.57 Å. In the fourth Dy site, Dy is bonded to twelve Dy atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. All Dy–Dy bond lengths are 3.57 Å. In the fifth Dy site, Dy is bonded to twelve Dy atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Dy–Dy bond distances ranging from 3.52–3.57 Å.
