Dy2Ni2Ga crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Dy(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing GaDy8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
Dy2Ni2Ga crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ga(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.82 Å) and four longer (2.93 Å) Dy(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.12 Å) and two longer (3.21 Å) Dy(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. The Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond length is 2.47 Å. Both Ni(1)-Ga(1) bond lengths are 2.52 Å. Ga(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Dy(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing GaDy8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
