{sup 57}Fe doped La{sub 4}Ni{sub 2.97}Fe{sub 0.03}O{sub 9.95} was synthesized by a citrate method and, afterwards, successfully oxidized and reduced by electrochemical methods. The compounds obtained were investigated by X-ray diffraction, electrical measurements and Moessbauer spectroscopy. The study allowed to follow the variation of the two nickel sites environment with the oxygen stoichiometry and a deeper understanding of the electrical behavior versus oxygen non-stoichiometry was achieved. The Moessbauer study revealed that after both oxidation and reduction treatments, the major modifications were observed on the octahedra adjacent to the La{sub 2}O{sub 2} layers, while the middle octahedra of the triple perovskite block remained almost unchanged. The oxygen intercalation (oxidized treatment) takes place essentially in the La{sub 2}O{sub 2} layers and the oxygen desintercalation (reduction treatment) occurs in the octahedral sites adjacent to those layers. - Grapical abstract: Moessbauer spectra of oxidized and reduced Ruddlesden-Popper compounds La{sub 4}Ni{sub 2.97}Fe{sub 0.03}O{sub 10{+-}}{sub y}.
