Abstract We report crystal growth and characterization of 4 new ternary layered bismuthides with compositions KZn 2 Bi 2 ( I ), RbZn 2 Bi 2 ( II ), RbCd 2 Bi 2 ( III ), and CsCd 2 Bi 2 ( IV ) that belong to the vast 122 family of compounds. Single crystals were grown by self‐flux technique and characterized by a combination of powder X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. All new compounds crystallize in the layered ThCr 2 Si 2 structure type and exhibit the plate‐like morphology with weak bonding between layers. A significant structural difference between ACd 2 Bi 2 and AZn 2 Bi 2 is found and discussed.
