Abstract: Crystals of the title dysprosium tin sulfide oxide, Dy₈SnS₁₃S_1-xO_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 tetrahedral surroundings of sulfur atoms. Trigonal prisms and tetrahedra are connected to each other by their edges. All atoms are situated in mirror planes.
