Dy2TeO6 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P321 space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted DyO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra and  an edgeedge with one Te(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-53°. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(2) and three equivalent O(3) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Dy(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-53°. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent Dy(1)O6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Dy(1), one Dy(2), and one Te(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Dy(1), one Dy(2), and one Te(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Dy(1), one Dy(2), and one Te(1) atom.
