Gd2CBr is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded to three equivalent C(1) and three equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing GdC3Br3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-40°. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CGd6 octahedra. Br(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
