Highlights: • Five new double perovskites of formula Sr{sub 2}LnMoO{sub 6} were synthesized. • All the samples crystallize in the monoclinic P2{sub 1}/n space group. • Strong reducing conditions were used in order to stabilized Mo(V) cations. • A complete ordering between the rare earth and molybdenum ions was observed. • Magnetism agrees with the crystal distortions observed from Rietveld analysis. - Abstract: We describe the preparation, crystal structure determination and magnetic properties of a new series of ordered double perovskite oxides Sr{sub 2}LnMoO{sub 6} (Ln = Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb) with Mo{sup 5+} and Ln{sup 3+} electronic configurations. These compounds have been obtained by solid state reaction under reducing conditions in order to stabilize Mo{sup 5+} cations. Structural characterization by XRPD and NPD was performed when Ln = Ho, Er, Yb and just XRPD for absorbing Ln = Eu, Gd, Dy. At room temperature, an excellent Rietveld fit was obtained for all the samples in a monoclinic symmetry, space group P2{sub 1}/n, with long-range ordering of Ln and Mo atoms. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that some of these materials present magnetic ordering below 25 K and the determined effective magnetic moments are consistent with those expected for the pair Ln{sup 3+}–Mo{sup 5+}. All the phases have negative values of the Weiss temperature indicating dominance of antiferromagnetic interactions.
