X-ray diffraction data of Bi{sub 1.4}Pb{sub 0.6}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3.6}O{sub 10+{ital x}} samples show a sharp change near the annealing temperature of 845 {degree}C. Below this temperature a solid solution of (Ca{sub 0.867}Sr{sub 0.133}){sub 2}PbO{sub 4} is formed and prolonged annealing leads to transformation of the 2212 phase to the 2223 phase. Above this temperature, Ca{sub 2}PbO{sub 4} is formed, and prolonged annealing leads to an irreversible transformation of both the 2212 phase and the 2223 phase to the 2201 phase.
