The cesium phosphate tungsten bronze CsP{sub 8}W{sub 8}O{sub 40} exhibits a resistivity hump at {approx} 160 K and a resistivity upturn at {approx} 24 K. To understand the origin of these anomalies, we prepared cesium-deficient phases, Cs{sub 1-x}P{sub 8}W{sub 8}O{sub 40}, and alkali-metal- and molybdenum-substituted phases, Cs{sub x}A{sub y}P{sub 8}W{sub 8}O{sub 40} (x + y > 1) and CsP{sub 8}W{sub 8-x}Mo{sub x}O{sub 40}, and measured their electrical resistivities and magnetic susceptibilities. Those results are interpreted on the basis of the tight-binding band electronic structures calculated for the W{sub 4}O{sub 18} chain and the P{sub 8}W{sub 8}O{sub 40} lattice. 11 refs., 7 figs., 4 tabs.
