© Tübitak.In this paper, we construct almost paracontact metric structures by using the fundamental 3-forms of manifolds with G*2(2) structures. The existence of certain almost paracontact metric structures is investigated due to the properties of the 2-fold vector cross-product. Furthermore, we give some relations between the classes of G*2(2) structures and almost paracontact metric structures.
