The hole concentration of the CuO₂ planes of Bi_2−yPb_ySr_2−xLa_xCuO_6+δ cuprates has been investigated in great detail by two techniques, x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Cu−L₃ edge and iodometric titration. The XAS measurements were performed at the BESSY II beamline PM3. Our investigations include both ceramics and single crystals containing no lead (y = 0) and larger amounts of lead (y = 0,16 ... 0,45). For each case we studied series of variable content of lanthanum (x = 0,0 ... 0,8). Finally we compare ceramics and single crystals, discuss the dependence between hole density, critical temperature and content of lead and lanthanum. Moreover we show the dependence of the x-ray absorption from the angle of incidence.
