Charge transfer in Pb{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}YCu{sub 3}O{sub 8} (PSYCO) compounds is evaluated using the self-consistent bond/charge model. When Ce{sup +4} or Am{sup +4} replaces Y{sup +3}, the resulting n-type material does not superconduct. When the rare-earth replacing Y is trivalent (e.g., Y{sup +3}, Tb{sup +3}, or Pr{sup +3}) and the PSYCO compound is doped p type (e.g., with >15% Ca), PSYCO exhibits superconductivity. This lack of n-p doping symmetry is inconsistent with most cuprate-plane models of high-temperature superconductivity, but is consistent with oxygen models.
