In this paper the authors study the room-temperature infrared transmission spectra (400-1,600cm{sup {minus}1}) and far-infrared diffuse reflection spectra (50-450cm{sup {minus}1}) in Pb-doped Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (2223) single phase (Tc = 107k,sp1), multiphase (Tc = 110k,sp2) and nonsuperconducting samples (sp3). The spectral features in superconductor are totally different from those in nonsuperconductor, which show the different crystal structure. The correlation existing between a factor group analysis of the phonons in (2223) and (2212) compounds affords a tentative assignment of ir-active modes in Pb-doped (2223) single phase by comparison with reported data in (2212) materials. The Cu-O stretching E{sub u} vibration (605cm{sup {minus}1}) of CuO{sub 2} layers is the characteristic vibrational mode related perovskitelike crystal structures. Two phonon coupling effect emerges in the infrared transmission spectra in Pb-doped superconductor. The Ca-O vibration A{sub 2u} (254cm{sup {minus}1}) might be related to superconductivity of Bi-based family.
