Mixed‐valence copper(II/III) oxide solid solutions Sr 2−x Na x CuO 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been prepared by solid‐state reactions in oxygen atmosphere. All solid solutions exhibit the structure of Sr 2 CuO 3 (S.G. Immm). Electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power measurements show a semiconducting behavior in the whole composition range. The electronic structure of Sr 2 CuO 3 is compared with that of La 2 CuO 4 on the basis of an iono‐covalent model. Interpretation of transport properties suggests the formation of small polarons. Magnetic susceptibility and EPR measurements show that the antiferromagnetic ordering of Sr 2 CuO 3 tends to vanish as x increases, however magnetic interactions are still strong for a concentration of Cu 2+ ions corresponding to x = 0.8.
