EuAl2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Eu(1) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent Eu(1) and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing AlEu6Al6 cuboctahedra.
