The material described by Dy2CoGe2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1), one Ge(2), and five equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second Dy site, Dy(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and five equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(1), four equivalent Dy(2), one Ge(1), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy(2), five equivalent Dy(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Dy(1), five equivalent Dy(2), three equivalent Co(1), and one Ge(2) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
