DyCO4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.54 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.60 Å. In the third Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.56 Å. There are six inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There is two shorter (1.29 Å) and one longer (1.30 Å) C–O bond length.
