Single crystals of a series of lanthanide lithium iridium oxides, Ln{sub 2}LiIrO{sub 6} (Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu) with the double perovskite structure have been grown from molten LiOH/KOH fluxes. The compounds crystallize in a distorted 1:1 rock salt lattice of Li{sup +} and Ir{sup 5+} cations in the monoclinic space group P2{sub 1}/n. The magnetic susceptibilities of Ln{sub 2}LiIrO{sub 6} (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu) are presented.
