DyAlO3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent O(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 24°. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
DyAlO3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.25 Å) and six longer (2.65 Å) Dy(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 24°. All Al(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.91 Å. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
