Abstract

The well-known “modular” concept of the structure of two complex sulfides has been supplemented by crystallographic analysis fixing specific features of ordering atomic sites in crystal structures. Regular ordering of cations (formation of F sublattices with close parameters) and independent, less regular ordering of anions is established. It is shown that local ordering of atoms in contacting modular layers gives rise to a unified sublattice for the structures and forms a long-range order.
