Dy3Pd2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(2) and six equivalent Dy(1) atoms.
Dy3Pd2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.97 Å) and four longer (3.05 Å) Dy(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. All Dy(2)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(2) and six equivalent Dy(1) atoms.
