title: Dy2Ni7Sn3: a new member of the CaCu5 family of intermetallics.
abstract: Single crystals of didysprosium heptanickel tritin were synthesized from the constituent elements by arc-melting. Two of the five Ni atoms are at general sites and all other atoms are at sites with either twofold or m symmetry. The structure contains 'DyNi(5)Sn' and 'DyNi(2)Sn(2)' fragments and represents a new member of the CaCu(5) series of intermetallics.
