Dy4CoCd 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 Co(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 Co(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third Dy site, Dy(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Co(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 corner and face-sharing CdDy9Cd3 cuboctahedra.
