New quadruple perovskite oxides Ba{sub 4}LnIr{sub 3}O{sub 12} (Ln=lanthanides) were prepared and their magnetic properties were investigated. They crystallize in the monoclinic 12L-perovskite-type structure with space group C2/m. The Ir{sub 3}O{sub 12} trimers and LnO{sub 6} octahedra are alternately linked by corner-sharing and form the perovskite-type structure with 12 layers. The Ln and Ir ions are both in the tetravalent state for Ln=Ce, Pr, and Tb compounds (Ba{sub 4}Ln{sup 4+}Ir{sub 3}{sup 4+}O{sub 12}), and for other compounds (Ln=La, Nd, Sm-Gd, Dy-Lu), Ln ions are in the trivalent state and the mean oxidation state of Ir ions is +4.33(Ba{sub 4}Ln{sup 3+}Ir{sub 3}{sup 4+.33}O{sub 12}). An antiferromagnetic transition has been observed for Ln=Ce, Pr, and Tb compounds at 10.5, 35, and 16 K, respectively, while the other compounds are paramagnetic down to 1.8 K. - Graphical abstract: New quadruple perovskite oxides Ba{sub 4}LnIr{sub 3}O{sub 12} were prepared and they form the perovskite-type structure with 12 layers, in which Ir{sub 3}O{sub 12} trimers and LnO{sub 6} octahedra are alternately linked by corner-sharing.
