DyHg3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Dy(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing DyHg12 cuboctahedra. Hg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) atoms.
DyHg3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Dy(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing DyHg12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.13 Å) and six longer (3.30 Å) Dy(1)-Hg(1) bond lengths. Hg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) atoms.
