DyCuCd crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Cu(2), four equivalent Cu(1), and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Cu(1), and two equivalent Cu(2) atoms.
