The material described by Dy2PdGe6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. Dy(1) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(4), one Ge(5), two equivalent Ge(1), three equivalent Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing DyGe10Pd2 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy(1), one Ge(3), one Ge(4), one Ge(5), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are five inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), one Pd(1), one Ge(5), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(5) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), one Pd(1), one Ge(4), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), one Pd(1), one Ge(1), one Ge(4), and one Ge(5) atom. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), one Ge(2), and one Ge(3) atom. In the fifth Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Dy(1), one Pd(1), one Ge(2), and one Ge(3) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
