The crystal chemistry and magnetic properties of two hexagonal nickel(IV)-containing perovskites, Ba 4 Ni 1.94 Ir 2.06 O 12 and BaNiO 3 , are reported. The 12R perovskite, Ba 4 Ni 1.94 Ir 2.06 O 12 , possesses an unexpected coexistence of nickel(II) and nickel(IV). This quadruple perovskite structure contains Ir 2 NiO 12 mixed-metal-cation units in which direct metal-metal bonding between nickel(IV) and iridium(V) is inferred. X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were conducted to confirm the simultaneous presence of nickel(II) and nickel(IV).
