Dy is Copper structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded to four equivalent Dy(1) and eight equivalent Dy(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded to four equivalent Dy(2) and eight equivalent Dy(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra.

In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded to four equivalent Dy(1) and eight equivalent Dy(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. All Dy(1)-Dy(1) bond lengths are 3.54 Å. There are four shorter (3.54 Å) and four longer (3.55 Å) Dy(1)-Dy(2) bond lengths. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded to four equivalent Dy(2) and eight equivalent Dy(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing DyDy12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Dy(2)-Dy(2) bond distances ranging from 3.53-3.56 Å.
