Abstract

A new series of layered perovskite oxides, $A^ILaNb_2O_7$ (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, $NH_4$) constituting n = 2 members of the family $A A'_{n-1}B_nO_{3n+1}$, has been prepared. Their structure consists of double perovskite slabs interleaved by A atoms. Hydrated $HLaNb_2O_7$ is formed by topotactic proton exchange of the A atoms in $ALaNb_2O_7$ (A = K, Rb, Cs). The hydrate readily loses water to give anhydrous $HLaNb_2O_7$ which is isostructural with $RbLaNb_2O_7$. $HLaNb_2O_7$ exhibits Bronsted acidity forming intercalation compounds with bases such as n-octylamine and pyridine.
