Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • Pb{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}BiFe{sub 4}ScO{sub 13} was obtained by solid state synthesis. • Its structure was refined from combination of XPD and TEM. • It is a new member of the perovskite-related homologous series A{sub n}B{sub n}O{sub 3n−2} with n = 5. • Pb{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}BiFe{sub 4}ScO{sub 13} is antiferromagnetically ordered below T{sub N} ≈350 K. - Abstract: Pb{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}BiFe{sub 4}ScO{sub 13}, a new n = 5 member of the oxygen-deficient perovskite-based A{sub n}B{sub n}O{sub 3n−2} homologous series, was synthesized using a solid-state method. The crystal structure of Pb{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}BiFe{sub 4}ScO{sub 13} was investigated by a combination of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, electron diffraction, high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. At 900 K, it crystallizes in the Ammm space group with the unit cell parameters a = 5.8459(1) Å, b = 4.0426(1) Å, and c = 27.3435(1) Å. In the Pb{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}BiFe{sub 4}ScO{sub 13} structure, quasi-two-dimensional perovskite blocks are periodically interleaved with ½[1 1 0] (1{sup ¯}01){sub p} crystallographic shear (CS) planes. At the CS planes, the corner-sharing FeO{sub 6} octahedra are transformed into chains of edge-sharing FeO{sub 5} distorted tetragonal pyramids. B-positions of the perovskite blocks between the CS planes are jointly occupied by Fe{sup 3+} and Sc{sup 3+}. The chains of the FeO{sub 5} pyramids and (Fe,Sc)O{sub 6} octahedra delimit six-sided tunnels that are occupied by double columns of cations with a lone electron pair (Pb{sup 2+}). The remaining A-cations (Bi{sup 3+}, Ba{sup 2+}) occupy positions in the perovskite block. According to the magnetic susceptibility measurements, Pb{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}BiFe{sub 4}ScO{sub 13} is antiferromagnetically ordered below T{sub N} ≈350 K.
