Gd2AlGe6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Al and ten Ge atoms. There are one shorter (3.34 Å) and one longer (3.36 Å) Gd–Al bond lengths. There are a spread of Gd–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.36 Å. Al is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Al–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.60 Å. There are five inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd, one Al, and two Ge atoms. There are one shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.59 Å) Ge–Ge bond lengths. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and two Ge atoms. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.64 Å. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd, one Al, and three Ge atoms. There are one shorter (2.51 Å) and two longer (2.56 Å) Ge–Ge bond lengths. In the fourth Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd, one Al, and three Ge atoms. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.52 Å. In the fifth Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd, one Al, and three Ge atoms. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.53 Å.
