DyScS3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(2) and six equivalent S(1) atoms. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ScS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-45°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form corner-sharing SDy2Sc2 trigonal pyramids.
DyScS3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(2) and six equivalent S(1) atoms. Both Dy(1)-S(2) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. There are a spread of Dy(1)-S(1) bond distances ranging from 2.76-3.41 Å. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ScS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-45°. Both Sc(1)-S(2) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. There are two shorter (2.53 Å) and two longer (2.57 Å) Sc(1)-S(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form corner-sharing SDy2Sc2 trigonal pyramids.
