Abstract

The crystallographic analysis of Bi2S3, CuPbBi5S9, CuPbBi3S6, CuPbBiS3 compounds, representing a series with a successive replacement of a part of Bi atoms by Pb+Cu shows that they are characterized by a stable combination of a pseudo-tetragonal cation framework with a pseudo-hexagonal anion one, which is common for all structures, within orthorhombic unit cells with n sizes of 11.2 , 4, and 11.5. The Bi2S3 cation framework is retained for heavy Bi+Pb, and additional light Cu fill the available vacant sites without changing its geometry but varying the crystallographic symmetry within the orthorhombic crystal symmetry and unit cells of n standard blocks (11,2x4x11,5 Å3).
