W2AlC is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. W(1) is bonded to three equivalent Al(1) and three equivalent C(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing WAl3C3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-36°. Al(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent W(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent W(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CW6 octahedra.
