Dy2Cu2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cu(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), one Cu(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Dy(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdDy8Cu4 cuboctahedra.
Dy2Cu2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cu(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.85 Å) and four longer (2.91 Å) Dy(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths. All Dy(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.32 Å. Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), one Cu(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Cu(1)-Cu(1) bond length is 2.53 Å. Both Cu(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Dy(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdDy8Cu4 cuboctahedra.
