Re is alpha La structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent Re(1) and six equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing ReRe12 cuboctahedra. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded to six equivalent Re(1) and six equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing ReRe12 cuboctahedra.

In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent Re(1) and six equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing ReRe12 cuboctahedra. All Re(1)-Re(1) bond lengths are 2.77 Å. All Re(1)-Re(2) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded to six equivalent Re(1) and six equivalent Re(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing ReRe12 cuboctahedra. All Re(2)-Re(2) bond lengths are 2.77 Å.
