DyWO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. W(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ODy2W2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and one W(1) atom.
DyWO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.32 Å) and two longer (2.50 Å) Dy(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.34 Å) Dy(1)-O(2) bond lengths. W(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Both W(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.86 Å. There are two shorter (1.98 Å) and two longer (2.20 Å) W(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ODy2W2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and one W(1) atom.
