The crystal structure described by DyGe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(3), and six equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and five equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
