Mg2Dy is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent Dy(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing MgDy6Mg6 cuboctahedra. Dy(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Dy(1) atoms.
