Structural characteristics of a number of ternary rare earth/transition metal/aluminium compounds are hexagonal nets of the AlB 2-type, Kagomé nets and tetragonal pyramides. Crystal structures of the new compounds in the ternary Yb-T-Al systems contain units and sections of them. Kagomé nets stacked in an ..ABAB.. sequence are observed in YbAg1.5Al0.5 ( MgZn 2-type). The crystal structure of Yb8Ag21Al45 is related to the BaHg 11-type. YbAu0.8Al3.2 ( CaZn 2 Al 2-type) contains tetragonal pyramides which are connected by common edges. Fragments of the AlB 2- and BaAl 4-type structure are present in Yb5Au15Al16. YbPdAl2 and YbPtAl2 ( YbPdAl 2-type) contain pentagonal prisms as the characteristic structural elements.

The title compound has been obtained by arc-melting of the elemental components and subsequent annealing at 800 °C. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Immm, a = 430.3(1), b = 1235.0(2), c = 967.6(3) pm, V = 0.5142(2) nm3, Z = 2. The structure has been determined from single-crystal X-ray data and refined to R = 0.0181 for 747 F2 values and 28 variables. It is of a new type and can be described as a ternary ordered version of the binary La3Al11-type structure. Dy3Co6Sn5 is built up from DyCo2Sn2 and DyCo2Sn slabs with ThCr2Si2 and Cu3Au-like atomic arrangements, respectively. Its crystal chemistry is compared with that of structurally related rare earth transition metal gallides.

A definitive determination of crystal structures is an important prerequisite for designing and exploiting new functional materials. We find that the long-assumed TMB2phases of multifunctional tungsten and molybdenum borides are in fact a family of complex TMB3polytypes.
