The (CH_3NH_3)_5Bi_{2(1-x)}Sb_{2x}Cl_{11} crystals were examined from the point of view of their applicability in pyroelectric detectors. It was shown that they can be useful so far as the construction of infrared detectors is concerned due to high values of both their pyroelectric coefficient and figure of merit p/sqrtε which are both comparable with those of triglycine sulphate crystals.
