The material structure described by Dy5Ga3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ga(1) and four equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ga(1) and three equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing DyGa5 trigonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1) and eight equivalent Dy(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), six equivalent Dy(2), and one Ga(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
