Abstract
A rare-earth-containing analog of the mineral berthierite, with the composition FeNdSbS4, was synthesized for the first time. FeNdSbS4 is isostructural with FeSb2S4 and crystallizes in orthorhombic symmetry (sp. gr. Pbam, Z = 4) with lattice parameters a= 11.395 Å, b = 14.136 Å, and c = 3.747 Å.
