Crystal structure of germanite, Cu26Ge4Fe4S32 determined by powder X-ray diffraction

The crystal structure of germanite (Cu26Ge4Fe4S32, P43n, a 10.5862(5) A) was refined to a weighted R of 3.60% from 66 powder XRD reflections. The structure deviates only slightly from a body-centred lattice type and is a modification of the sphalerite structure.
