Investigations of magnetic susceptibility (χ) of (3HgS)1–x (Al2S3) x (x = 0.5) crystals doped with manganese investigated by the Faraday method in the range of Т = 77–300 K and Н = 0.25–4 kOe demonstrate that peculiar magnetic properties can be due to the presence of clusters of the Mn–S–Mn–S type in these crystals. Based on the investigation of kinetic coefficients of the crystals performed for Т = 77–300 K and Н = 0.5–5 kOe, it is established that the crystals demonstrate conductivity of the n-type, and their electric conduction only very slightly depends on the temperature and shows a maximum, the Hall coefficient is independent of the temperature, while the temperature dependences of mobility exhibit a maximum. Using the concentration dependence of the effective electron mass at the Fermi level, the width of the forbidden band, the matrix element of interatomic interaction, and the effective mass on the conduction-band bottom are obtained. Based on investigations by optical methods, the presence of direct optical interband transitions in the crystals is established and the value of the optical forbidden band (at Т = 300 K) is determined.
