The compound described by DyAlSi crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1md space group. Dy(1) is bonded to six equivalent Al(1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing DyAl6Si6 cuboctahedra. Al(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent Al(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
