The structure described by Dy3S2Cl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and three equivalent Cl(3) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1), two equivalent Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. S(1) is bonded to two equivalent Dy(1) and two equivalent Dy(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SDy4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Dy(2) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Dy(2) and two equivalent Dy(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
