Mixed Metal Perovskites

Perovskites are mixed metal oxides of general stoichiometry ABO₃. They constitute one of the largest structural families known in solid state chemistry, because they form all kinds of multiple variants, i.e. A₂B₂O₆, A₃B₃O₉, simultaneously allowing for substitutitons on either cation position in a wide range.
