Be2ReCl crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Be sites. In the first Be site, Be(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Be(2) and four equivalent Re(1) atoms. In the second Be site, Be(2) is bonded to four equivalent Be(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form edge-sharing BeBe4Cl4 tetrahedra. Re(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Be(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Be(2) and four equivalent Re(1) atoms.
