Intergrowth crystal structures in inorganic systems have provided a fertile field of solid state chemical research for many years and the discovery of high-Tc superconducting cuprates has focused attention on intergrowth structures based on perovskite blocks. Ruddlesden and Popper (R-P hereafter) have described intergrowth structures with the general formula Srn+1TinO3n+1 where n is the number of perovskite layers separated by SrO layers. Indeed, La2CuO4 corresponds to the n = 1 phase in which the decreased ionic charge of the octahedral ion is compensated by the increased ionic charge of the dodecahedral ion.
