title: Dy(8)SnS(13.61)O(0.39) from single-crystal data.
abstract: Crystals of the title dysprosium tin sulfide oxide, Dy(8)SnS(13)S(1-x)O(x) [x = 0.39 (4)], were obtained unintentionally from the Dy-Sn-S system. A statistical mixture of sulfur and oxygen was assumed for one position in the structure. S and O atoms surround each of the eight symmetrically non-equivalent dysprosium atoms. The Sn atoms are located in tetra-hedral surroundings of sulfur atoms. Trigonal prisms and tetra-hedra are connected to each other by their edges. All atoms are situated in mirror planes.
