The compound described by Dy5AgS8 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms. Ag(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to one Dy(2), four equivalent Dy(1), and one Ag(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing SDy5Ag octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-46°. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Dy(2), four equivalent Dy(1), and one Ag(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
