Normal state electrical resistivity of the Chevrel phase compounds of the type Cu1.8Mo6S8−ySey, 0⩽y⩽8 and Cu1.8Mo6S8−yTey, 0⩽y⩽4 is analysed on the basis of the generalized diffraction model which incorporates a postulate on electron-phonon interaction,viz phonons with wavelength exceeding the electron mean-free path are ineffective electron scatterers. Fit obtained by this model was found to be superior to other models based on the interbands-d scattering of electrons.
