Dy5Pt2Sb crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing DySb2Pt4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-48°. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Dy(2) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and eight equivalent Dy(2) atoms.

In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing DySb2Pt4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-48°. All Dy(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Both Dy(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 3.39 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.92 Å) and two longer (2.96 Å) Dy(2)-Pt(1) bond lengths. Both Dy(2)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 3.29 Å. Pt(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Dy(2) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and eight equivalent Dy(2) atoms.
