The crystal structure described by DyNiAl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), three equivalent Al(2), four equivalent Al(1), and six equivalent Al(3) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), one Al(2), and six equivalent Al(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent Dy(1), two equivalent Al(3), and four equivalent Al(2) atoms. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), one Ni(1), and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the third Al site, Al(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), three equivalent Ni(1), and one Al(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
