Materials Data on Dy3Os by Materials Project
Dy3Os is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Os atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Os bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.17 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.77 Å) and one longer (2.82 Å) Dy–Os bond lengths. Os is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Dy atoms.
