The crystal structure described by Be2Re is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent Be sites. In the first Be site, Be(1) is bonded to six equivalent Be(2) and six equivalent Re(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing BeBe6Re6 cuboctahedra. In the second Be site, Be(2) is bonded to two equivalent Be(1), four equivalent Be(2), and six equivalent Re(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing BeBe6Re6 cuboctahedra. Re(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Be(1), nine equivalent Be(2), and four equivalent Re(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
