Gd3BBr3 is Corundum-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic I4_132 space group. Gd(1) is bonded to two equivalent B(1) and four equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing GdB2Br4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-11°. B(1) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form edge-sharing BGd6 octahedra. Br(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) atoms.

Gd(1) is bonded to two equivalent B(1) and four equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing GdB2Br4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-11°. Both Gd(1)-B(1) bond lengths are 2.63 Å. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and two longer (3.09 Å) Gd(1)-Br(1) bond lengths. B(1) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form edge-sharing BGd6 octahedra. Br(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
