The material structure described by Dy5(Rh2Ge5)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. There are three inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(1), four equivalent Ge(2), and eight equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded to four equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(3), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms to form face-sharing DyGe8Rh4 cuboctahedra. In the third Dy site, Dy(3) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Ge(3), four equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Rh(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Dy(1), two equivalent Dy(2), two equivalent Dy(3), one Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(2), four equivalent Dy(3), two equivalent Rh(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Dy(1), two equivalent Dy(2), two equivalent Dy(3), and two equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Dy(2), one Dy(3), two equivalent Dy(1), and two equivalent Rh(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
