The stabilization of the quadruple perovskite structure Ln{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 11} as a function of the constituent lanthanides has been investigated. Powder X-ray data show that the mixed A-site compositions Ln`Ln``Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 11} (Ln`Ln`` = LaY, LaHo, LaEr, and NdDy) concertedly order to form distinct CuO{sub 2}{sup 2-} and TiO{sub 2} double layers. In addition the A cations (Ln` Ln``, and Ba) order on three distinct sites, with the smaller lanthanide (Ln``) occupying the 8-coordinate site between contracted copper-oxygen planes. 22 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs.
