Al5Re24 is alpha-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Re(2), six equivalent Re(1), and two equivalent Al(2) atoms. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(2), five equivalent Re(1), one Al(1), and three equivalent Al(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Re(2) and four equivalent Al(2) atoms. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Re(1), nine equivalent Re(2), and one Al(1) atom.

In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Re(2), six equivalent Re(1), and two equivalent Al(2) atoms. There are a spread of Re(1)-Re(2) bond distances ranging from 2.56-2.86 Å. There are two shorter (2.82 Å) and four longer (2.90 Å) Re(1)-Re(1) bond lengths. There is one shorter (2.76 Å) and one longer (3.23 Å) Re(1)-Al(2) bond length. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(2), five equivalent Re(1), one Al(1), and three equivalent Al(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.50 Å) and two longer (2.61 Å) Re(2)-Re(2) bond lengths. The Re(2)-Al(1) bond length is 3.00 Å. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) Re(2)-Al(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Re(2) and four equivalent Al(2) atoms. All Al(1)-Al(2) bond lengths are 2.99 Å. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Re(1), nine equivalent Re(2), and one Al(1) atom.
