ReAl(WO4)2 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. W(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Re(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-57°. Re(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form ReO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-57°. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Re(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-51°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one W(1), one Re(1), and one Al(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Re(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one W(1), one Re(1), and one Al(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Al(1) atom.
