The structure described by Dy5Pd2Sb crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form distorted DySb2Pd4 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Dy(1)Sb2Pd4 octahedra, corners with sixteen equivalent Dy(2)Sb2Pd3 trigonal bipyramids, and faces with eight equivalent Dy(2)Sb2Pd3 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-49°. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded to three equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form distorted DySb2Pd3 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Dy(1)Sb2Pd4 octahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Dy(2)Sb2Pd3 trigonal bipyramids, edges with seven equivalent Dy(2)Sb2Pd3 trigonal bipyramids, faces with two equivalent Dy(1)Sb2Pd4 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Dy(2)Sb2Pd3 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 43-63°. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and six equivalent Dy(2) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and eight equivalent Dy(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
