Gd2(BO3)F3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Gd3+ sites. In the first Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four O2- and five F1- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.42 Å. There are a spread of Gd–F bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.64 Å. In the second Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three O2- and five F1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) Gd–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Gd–F bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.60 Å. In the third Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four O2- and five F1- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.62 Å. There are a spread of Gd–F bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.47 Å. In the fourth Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven O2- and two F1- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.67 Å. There are one shorter (2.30 Å) and one longer (2.52 Å) Gd–F bond lengths. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.38–1.40 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.38–1.40 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites.
