Layered Sr{sub 0.35}CoO{sub 2} has been synthesized by means of an ion exchange reaction from Na{sub 0.7}CoO{sub 2}. Resistivity measurements show that this material can be either metallic or semiconducting depending on the annealing conditions. The magnetic susceptibility of the sample increases with decreasing temperature, showing a Curie-Weiss behavior in high temperatures. Transmission electron microscopy observations reveal the presence of two superstructures arising respectively from the intercalated Sr-ordering (a compositional modulation) with q {sub 1} = a*/3 + b*/3 and a periodic structural distortion (a transverse structural modulation) with q {sub 2} = a*/2.
