The crystal structure described by Dy6Mn23 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mn(2), four equivalent Mn(3), and four equivalent Mn(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(4) is bonded to three equivalent Dy(1), three equivalent Mn(2), three equivalent Mn(3), and three equivalent Mn(4) atoms to form distorted MnDy3Mn9 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(4)Dy3Mn9 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Mn(2)Dy4Mn8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Mn(4)Dy3Mn9 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent Mn(2)Dy4Mn8 cuboctahedra. In the second Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Mn(3) atoms. In the third Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to four equivalent Dy(1), four equivalent Mn(3), and four equivalent Mn(4) atoms to form MnDy4Mn8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(2)Dy4Mn8 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Mn(4)Dy3Mn9 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Mn(4)Dy3Mn9 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Mn(2)Dy4Mn8 cuboctahedra. In the fourth Mn site, Mn(3) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), one Mn(1), three equivalent Mn(2), three equivalent Mn(3), and three equivalent Mn(4) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
