The structure described by Dy3Se4 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Dy(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Se(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing DySe8 hexagonal bipyramids. Se(1) is bonded to six equivalent Dy(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing SeDy6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-49°. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
