EuBr2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Eu(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing EuBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. Br(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Eu(1) atoms.
