DyCdGa crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cd(1), one Ga(2), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Cd(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
DyCdGa crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cd(1), one Ga(2), and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.22 Å) and four longer (3.44 Å) Dy(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. The Dy(1)-Ga(2) bond length is 3.05 Å. All Dy(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Cd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Cd(1), two equivalent Ga(1), and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms. Both Cd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Both Cd(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Both Cd(1)-Ga(2) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
