Materials Data on DyH3 by Materials Project
DyH3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3c1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy3+ is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven H1- atoms. There are a spread of Dy–H bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.48 Å. There are three inequivalent H1- sites. In the first H1- site, H1- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Dy3+ atoms. In the second H1- site, H1- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Dy3+ atoms. In the third H1- site, H1- is bonded to four equivalent Dy3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing HDy4 tetrahedra.
