Materials Data on DyAu3 by Materials Project
Au3Dy is beta Cu3Ti structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy3+ is bonded to twelve Au1- atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing DyAu12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Dy–Au bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.11 Å. There are two inequivalent Au1- sites. In the first Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy3+ atoms. In the second Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Dy3+ atoms.
