The structure of the compounds La{sub 2}MIrO{sub 6} is a monoclinic deformation of the perovskite-like GdFeO{sub 3}-type (space group P2{sub 1}/n) with complete ordering between iridium and M for M = Mg, Co, Ni, and Zn. These compounds are isomorphous with La{sub 2}NiRuO{sub 6}. The unit cell dimensions compare to those of the cubic perovskite as a{sub m} {approx} b{sub m} {approx} a{sub c}{radical}2, c{sub m} {approx} 2a{sub c}, {beta} {approx} 90{degrees}. The structure has been determined by Rietveld refinement on X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. The magnetic susceptibility measurements show magnetic ordering for the compounds with M = Co and Ni at 130 and 110 K respectively.
