The compound described by Dy3Pd20Si6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve equivalent Pd(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded to one Dy(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing PdDySi3 tetrahedra. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Dy(2) and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Pd(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
