The structure described by Dy6Fe23 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Dy(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Fe(2), four equivalent Fe(3), and four equivalent Fe(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe(4) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), three equivalent Fe(2), three equivalent Fe(3), and three equivalent Fe(4) atoms. In the second Fe site, Fe(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Fe(3) atoms. In the third Fe site, Fe(2) is bonded to four equivalent Dy(1), four equivalent Fe(3), and four equivalent Fe(4) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing FeDy4Fe8 cuboctahedra. In the fourth Fe site, Fe(3) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy(1), one Fe(1), three equivalent Fe(2), three equivalent Fe(3), and three equivalent Fe(4) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
