A single phase monoclinic new perovskite based titano-manganite (La{sub 0.5-x}Pr{sub x}Ba{sub 0.5})(Mn{sub 0.5}Ti{sub 0.5})O{sub 3} has been successfully prepared by ceramic solid-state technique at sintering temperature of 1300 deg. C. The concentration of Pr (Praseodymium), x, in molar proportion in A site has been varied as x = 0, 0.02 and 0.2. Analysis has been carried out to determine the electrical properties of the synthesized material at frequency ranging from 5 Hz to 1 MHz; and at temperature range between 25 deg. C to 200 deg. C. It is found that Pr addition promoted liquid phase sintering diffusion, porosity and agglomeration formation at 1300 deg. C. Dual relaxation is observed in unsubstituted Pr sample x = 0 and high Pr substituted sample x = 0.2. This phenomenon was a combinational contribution from a quasi dc (QDC) or low frequency dispersion (LFD), two cole-cole relaxational responses and a resistor. While low concentrated Pr substituted sampled x = 0.02 shows a combinational contribution from a quasi dc (QDC) or low frequency dispersion (LFD), single cole-cole relaxational response and a resistor at room temperature. Pr substitution at x = 0(max 12000) and x = 0.2(max 16000) showed high dielectric values compared to low substituted sample x = 0.02. Variation of dielectric loss tangent (tan delta) are observed for all samples at temperature ranged studied.
