Dy5(PdIn2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. There are three inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent In(1) and four equivalent In(2) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent In(1), and four equivalent In(2) atoms. In the third Dy site, Dy(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(3), four equivalent Dy(2), one In(1), and two equivalent In(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Dy(2), four equivalent Dy(3), one Pd(1), and one In(2) atom. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Dy(3), four equivalent Dy(2), two equivalent Pd(1), and one In(1) atom.
