Dy2CoPtO6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(3) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pt(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 38-42°. Pt(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form PtO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 38-42°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1), one Co(1), and one Pt(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing ODy2CoPt trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), one Co(1), and one Pt(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), one Co(1), and one Pt(1) atom.
