Hematophanite, ideally Pb4Fe3O8Cl, is tetragonal, space group P4mm, with a = 3·92 and c = 15·31 Å. The crystal structure, which has been refined to an R-factor of 9·1 %, may be described as an interlayering of perovskite-like units with a cesium chloride or, alternatively, a nadoritelike unit. The nadorite-like part consists of a double layer of PbO4Cl4 distorted square antiprisms. Iron atoms are in 6-fold (tetragonal bipyramidal) and 5-fold (square pyramidal) coordination.
