In extended x-ray aborption fine structure (EXAFS) study of local environment of Bi{sup 3+} and Pb{sup 2+} ions incorporated in Ba{sub 4.5}Nd{sub 9}Ti{sub 18}O{sub 54} actual sites of Bi- and Pb-incorporated are determined. Evidences are given that dopant ions are not distributed randomly on all theoretically possible sites: Bi{sup 3+} selectively enters one out of three posible channels, corresponding to the sites x=0.9484, y=0.2500, z=0.2939, and/or x=0.0455, y=0.2500, z=0.6928 previously occupied by Nd{sup 3+}, while Pb{sup 2+} selectively enters site x=0.4940, y=0.2500, z=0.4993 previously shared by Ba{sup 2+} and Nd{sup 3+}. {copyright} {ital 1997 Materials Research Society.}
