Abstract
The mechanism of the TlCu3S2/TlCu2S2 phase transformation has been stu died experimentally by neutron diffraction and theoretically by three- dimensional extended Huckel band calculations. Experiments show that o nly one of the sites is attacked during the oxidative extraction of co pper from TlCu3S2 the site that according to the calculations should b e the most vulnerable. The results support a previously presented tran sformation mechanism model based on topotaxy. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
