DyCrSb3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Sb(2), four equivalent Sb(1), and four equivalent Sb(3) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sb(3) and four equivalent Sb(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing CrSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. There are three inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Dy(1), four equivalent Cr(1), and one Sb(3) atom. In the third Sb site, Sb(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and one Sb(2) atom.
DyCrSb3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Sb(2), four equivalent Sb(1), and four equivalent Sb(3) atoms. The Dy(1)-Sb(2) bond length is 3.19 Å. There are two shorter (3.25 Å) and two longer (3.26 Å) Dy(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Dy(1)-Sb(3) bond distances ranging from 3.20-3.33 Å. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent Sb(3) and four equivalent Sb(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing CrSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. Both Cr(1)-Sb(3) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. There are two shorter (2.68 Å) and two longer (2.71 Å) Cr(1)-Sb(2) bond lengths.
