DyPt2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
DyPt2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are a spread of Dy(1)-Pt(1) bond distances ranging from 2.98-3.14 Å. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (2.98 Å) Dy(1)-Si(1) bond length. Pt(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are a spread of Pt(1)-Si(1) bond distances ranging from 2.47-2.61 Å. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
