The local atomic structure of the non-magnetic layered superconductor Bi4O4S3 was investigated using neutron diffraction and pair density function (PDF) analysis. Although on average, the crystal structure is well ordered, evidence for local, out–of–plane sulfur distortions is provided, which may act as a conduit for charge transfer from the SO4 blocks into the superconducting BiS2 planes. In contrast with LaO1−xFxBiS2, no sulfur distortions were detected in the planes, which indicates that charge density wave fluctuations are not supported in Bi4O4S3.
