DySmO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Dy(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing DyO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-47°. Sm(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSm2Dy2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Sm(1) atoms.
DySmO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Dy(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing DyO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-47°. Both Dy(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.31 Å. There are two shorter (2.25 Å) and two longer (2.27 Å) Dy(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Sm(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.29 Å) and one longer (2.44 Å) Sm(1)-O(1) bond length. There are a spread of Sm(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.29-3.06 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSm2Dy2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Sm(1) atoms.
