The crystal structures of Sr{sub 2}CaMoO{sub 6} and Sr{sub 2}CaTeO{sub 6} have been determined at room temperature by neutron powder diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the perovskite structure with a rock-salt ordered array of Ca{sup 2+} and M{sup 6+} cations (M=Mo, Te) on the six-coordinate sites (space group P2{sub 1}/n (no. 14); for M=Mo, a=5.76228(7), b=5.84790(7), c=8.18707(9)A, {beta}=90.194(1){sup o}, for M=Te, a=5.79919(9), b=5.83756(8), c=8.2175(1)A, {beta}=90.194(1){sup o}). Compositions in the solid solution Sr{sub 2}CaMo{sub 1-x}Te{sub x}O{sub 6} have been synthesized and shown by X-ray diffraction to adopt the same ordered structure. The results are used in a discussion of the cation oxidation states in Ca{sub 2}FeMoO{sub 6} and to establish the similarity between the structural chemistry of hexavalent Mo and Te.
