The new bismuth chalcogenide LaBiS3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 27.997(5) Å, b = 4.0663(4) Å, c = 14.747(3) Å, and β = 118.55(3)°. The structure of LaBiS3 is built up of NaCl-type Bi2S5 blocks, and BiS4 and LaS5 infinitely long chains forming a compact three-dimensional framework. Optical spectroscopy and resistivity measurements reveal a semiconducting behavior with a direct band gap of 1.08(2) eV and activation energy of 0.36(1) eV. Thermopower measurements suggest the majority carriers of LaBiS3 are electrons. Heat capacity measurement indicates no phase transition from 2 to 300 K. Band structure calculations at the density function level support the presence of a direct band gap in LaBiS3.
