WAl6Ge crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. W(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms to form WAl12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent W(1)Al12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ge(1)Al12 cuboctahedra. Al(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(1), two equivalent Al(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms to form GeAl12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Al12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent W(1)Al12 cuboctahedra.

W(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms to form WAl12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent W(1)Al12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ge(1)Al12 cuboctahedra. All W(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. Al(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(1), two equivalent Al(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.47 Å) and one longer (2.56 Å) Al(1)-Al(1) bond length. Both Al(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.82 Å. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms to form GeAl12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Al12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent W(1)Al12 cuboctahedra.
