The structural properties of Y-doped Bi{sub 2}Sn{sub 2}O{sub 7} have been determined by Rietveld analysis of powder neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. These materials form a series of cubic pyrochlore-type oxides with a distinct miscibility gap at low Bi contents and show large deviations from Vegards law. Temperature-dependent structural studies of (BiY)Sn{sub 2}O{sub 7} and (BiYb) Sn{sub 2}O{sub 7} have been undertaken. The structure of the high temperature, pyrochlore phase of Bi{sub 2}Sn{sub 2}O{sub 7} has been refined using powder neutron diffraction data. The evolution of the charge density on the Bi site has been probed using a combination of bond valence sum calculations and electronic spectroscopy.
