Materials Data on Dy2In by Materials Project
Dy2In crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded to six equivalent Dy and five equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing DyDy6In5 trigonal bipyramids. All Dy–Dy bond lengths are 3.54 Å. There are three shorter (3.12 Å) and two longer (3.36 Å) Dy–In bond lengths. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Dy and six equivalent In atoms. Both Dy–Dy bond lengths are 3.36 Å. All Dy–In bond lengths are 3.54 Å. In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven Dy atoms.
