The new layered oxides Ca 2 MnGaO 5ϩδ and Sr 2 MnGaO 5ϩδ were synthesized by solid state reaction from stoichiometric amounts of CaO (SrO), Mn 2 O 3 and Ga 2 O 3 in evacuated silica tubes and annealed at 1000 °C for 8 days with one intermediate regrinding. After annealing the samples were quenched.

✦ Synopsis
New Sr 2 MnGaO 4.97 complex oxide was synthesized by solid state reaction in sealed silica tubes at 950+10003C. The Sr 2 MnGaO 4.97 crystal structure was re5ned from X-ray powder di4raction data. Sr 2 MnGaO 4.97 is based on the Ima2 brownmillerite-type structure with apically elongated MnO 6 octahedra due to a Jahn+Teller e4ect. Electron di4raction and high-resolution electron microscopy showed that local ordering of the leftand right-hand chains of GaO 4 tetrahedra in Sr 2 MnGaO 4.97 leads to a superstructure with a doubling of the b parameter of the orthorhombic unit cell. The formal oxidation state of Mn (V Mn ) can be varied by thermal treatments at elevated oxygen pressure (4503C, 20 bar of O 2 ). The oxygen insertion induces a structure transformation in oxidized Sr 2 MnGaO 5.47 material with the formation of a tetragonal perovskite-like structure (a+a p , c+2c p ) with oxygen vacancies located in the Ga layers. The oxidation is accompanied by a signi5cant compression of the Mn+O apical distances and a suppression of the Jahn+Teller deformation. Both Sr 2 MnGaO 4.97 and Sr 2 MnGaO 5.47 can probably be treated as canted antiferromagnets with T N &150 and 80 K, respectively.
