The crystal structure described by Dy4Ni3Bi8 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ni(1,3); two equivalent Bi(3); two equivalent Bi(4); and four equivalent Bi(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing DyNi4Bi8 cuboctahedra. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Bi(3), two equivalent Bi(4), and five equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1,3) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and four equivalent Bi(2) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Dy(2) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Dy(2) and two equivalent Ni(2) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and four equivalent Ni(1,3) atoms. In the third Bi site, Bi(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Dy(2), and four equivalent Bi(4) atoms. In the fourth Bi site, Bi(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Dy(2), and four equivalent Bi(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
