Dy4PtCd crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are three inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third Dy site, Dy(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), three equivalent Dy(2), and three equivalent Dy(3) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to three equivalent Dy(1), three equivalent Dy(2), three equivalent Dy(3), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing CdDy9Cd3 cuboctahedra.
