CaDyAl4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Dy(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ca(1), three equivalent Dy(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing AlCa3Dy3Al6 cuboctahedra.
