GeBr2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing GeBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. Br(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are four shorter (2.80 Å) and two longer (2.81 Å) Ge(1)-Br(1) bond lengths. Br(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
