The thermal stability and decomposition pathways of six Dion-Jacobson-related double-layered perovskites, ALaNb{sub 2}O{sub 7} (A = H, Li, Na, Ag) and (ACl)LaNb{sub 2}O{sub 7} (A = Fe, Cu), are investigated. These compounds are made by low temperature (<400 deg. C) ion exchange reactions from RbLaNb{sub 2}O{sub 7}. All the compounds are low temperature phases with some of them exhibiting decomposition exotherms consistent with metastability. Decomposition temperatures and reactions pathways vary with the identity of A with most decompositions resulting in the formation of a niobate (containing A) and LaNbO{sub 4}. Results from differential scanning calorimetry and high temperature X-ray powder diffraction studies are presented and structural parameters pertinent to compound stability discussed.
