Materials Data on Dy5Ge3B by Materials Project

Dy5BGe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ge atoms. All Dy–Ge bond lengths are 3.09 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B and five equivalent Ge atoms. Both Dy–B bond lengths are 2.60 Å. There are a spread of Dy–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.52 Å. B is bonded to six equivalent Dy atoms to form face-sharing BDy6 octahedra. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Dy atoms.
