- (Shamray, 2009) found some disorder in this crystal: the Bi (8d) site has 6% vacancies, the Cu (8d) site is actually 90% copper and 9% bismuth, and the Sr (8d) site has 3% vacancies. It is not clear where the extra oxygens needed to control the superconducting behavior are added to the crystal.
- (Shamray, 2009) give the structure in the $A2aa$ setting of space group #37. We used FINDSYM to transform this to the standard $Ccc2$ setting.
- Space group $Ccc2$ #37 does not fix the origin of the $z$-coordinate. We do this by setting $z_{1} = 0$ for the Cu (4c) site.
