The structure described by Gd5(CoAl)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. There are three inequivalent Gd sites. In the first Gd site, Gd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the second Gd site, Gd(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the third Gd site, Gd(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Co(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Gd(2), one Gd(3), four equivalent Gd(1), one Co(1), and two equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd(1), two equivalent Gd(2), four equivalent Gd(3), and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
