Abstract
We determine the valence electron density and the electron band structure of stibnite, bismutinite, guanajuatite and antimonelite using the density functional theory. All the compounds present similar electronic properties and exhibit a quasi-1D character. We perform a detailed analysis of the charge topology, the atomic static charges and volumes.
