A series of oxygen-deficient Sr{sub 0.85}Bi{sub 0.15}Co{sub 1-x}Fe{sub x}O{sub 3-{delta}} (0.0{<=}x{<=}1.0) perovskite phases were prepared using solid-state reaction. Results of neutron powder diffraction analyses show that the introduction of Fe onto the B-site severely effects the long range coherence of the oxygen vacancy ordered, I4/mmm supercell, observed for the x=0.0 sample. For x=0.1 a smaller, a=b{approx}a{sub p}, c{approx}2a{sub p}, P4/mmm supercell gives the best agreement to the diffraction data, whilst phases in the range 0.2{<=}x{<=}0.6 adopt disordered cubic perovskite structures. Pseudo-cubic, a=b{approx}a{sub p}, c{approx}a{sub p}, structures are found for x{>=}0.8. Evidence of weak superstructures, reflecting local oxygen ordering, is also obtained from electron diffraction. For all oxygen-annealed phases the average structure reverts to cubic Pm3-bar m. The as-prepared samples show G-type antiferromagnetic order at room temperature. The oxygen annealed x=0.10, 0.25 and 1.0 samples display low-temperature spin-glass transitions. - Graphical abstract: Evolving crystal structures of the as-prepared Sr{sub 0.85}Bi{sub 0.15}Co{sub 1-x}Fe{sub x}O{sub 3-{delta}} perovskites as a function of iron content for the compositional range 0.1{<=}x{<=}1.0.
