✦ Synopsis
The synthesis and crystal structure of a new type of oxygendeficient compound with the formula LaNi 19x M x O 2.5; (M:Mn, Fe, Co) are reported. The new phases crystallize in a tetragonal cell with dimensions a T :2(2 a C and c T :a C , where a C means the cell parameter of an ideal cubic perovskite. The structure was refined in space group P4/m (Z:8), with deficiency of four oxygen atoms per unit cell, i.e., La 8 (Ni 19x M x ) 8 O 20 , compared to the ideal perovskite. The crystal structure and the ordering of the oxygen vacancies were determined by synchrotron powder X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. The structure is built of corner-sharing NiO 6 octahedra, NiO 5 pyramids, and NiO 4 square-planar groups with La 3; occupying ten-coordinated voids.

The title compounds can be synthesized in quantitative interactions within the linear (M,Sb) chain. The metallic character was confirmed by measurements of the electrical yields by arc-melting of stoichiometric amounts of HfSb 2 , Hf and one of the 3d metals V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu. These resi
