The compound described by Dy2Al3Si2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Al(2), four equivalent Al(1), and five equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Dy(1), one Al(2), two equivalent Al(1), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
