The structure described by Dy3CuGeS7 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Cu(1), one S(3), three equivalent S(1), and four equivalent S(2) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one S(3) and three equivalent S(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and one Ge(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1) and one Cu(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to three equivalent Dy(1) and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
