Starting from pure metals and sulphur in evacuated silica tubes single crystals of Cu5.47(9)Fe2.9(3)Sn13.1(3)S32 have been obtained by quenching from 680 degreesC. It crystallizes in the Fd (3) over barm space group with a = 10.3022 (6) Angstrom. The atomic parameters, occupancies, and anisotropic thermal parameters were refined to give a final R-value of 0.0116. The Sn-119 Mossbauer study shows the presence of Sn (IV) in an octahedral environment and Fe-57 Mossbauer indicates the presence of Fe (II) in an octahedral environment, statistically distributed in both low- and high-spin configurations.
