Cu2Pb2Bi8S15 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.43 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.43 Å. There are two inequivalent Pb2+ sites. In the first Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–S bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.55 Å.

In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Cu1+, one Pb2+, and four Bi3+ atoms to form distorted SCuBi4Pb octahedra that share edges with two equivalent SCuBi4Pb octahedra and edges with two equivalent SBi3Pb2 square pyramids. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Bi3+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Pb2+ and three Bi3+ atoms to form distorted SBi3Pb2 square pyramids that share edges with two equivalent SCuBi4Pb octahedra and edges with two equivalent SBi3Pb2 square pyramids. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cu1+, two equivalent Pb2+, and two Bi3+ atoms. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Bi3+ atoms. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pb2+ and three Bi3+ atoms. In the eighth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Bi3+ atoms. In the ninth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pb2+ and three Bi3+ atoms.
