We have prepared Sr{sub 3}FeMoO{sub 6.88(1)}, an oxygen-deficient two-dimensional analogue of the double perovskite Sr{sub 2}FeMoO{sub 6}, and have investigated its structure and physical properties. According to powder X-ray and neutron diffraction data, Sr{sub 3}FeMoO{sub 6.88} adopts the tetragonal n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper structure (space group I4/mmm) with a completely disordered B-cation distribution and oxygen vacancies occurring preferentially at the axial O1 sites between the perovskite layers. X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy and Moessbauer data are consistent with trivalent Fe and mixed (4+/5+) Mo oxidation state. The compound is semiconducting, showing an intrinsic magnetic transition at {approx}85 K and an additional upturn in the magnetic susceptibility at {approx}270 K, the latter is associated with intergrowth defects. An appreciable magnetoresistance, reaching the value of {approx} -15% at 5 K and 5 T is also observed.
