The material described by DyZn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(2), five equivalent Zn(1), and five equivalent Zn(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1), three equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(3) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Zn(1), two equivalent Zn(3), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms. In the third Zn site, Zn(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
