Sumario:The new hexagonal perovskite phase of composition Ba(4)Sn(1.1)Mn(2.9)O(12) has been synthesized by solid-state reactions at 1673 K. The crystal structure has been investigated using X-ray and neutron diffraction. The hexagonal perovskite structure has an ordered arrangement of Sn and Mn ions on the corner-sharing octahedral centers and the face-sharing octahedral centers respectively. Short Mn–Mn distances have been evidenced in the face-sharing trimer of MnO(6) octahedra. The magnetic susceptibility shows magnetic cluster behavior, with cluster formation temperature ∼220 K. Antiferromagnetic order has been observed at T(N) ∼ 6 K. Ba(4)Sn(1.1)Mn(2.9)O(12) is a semiconductor with a transport activation energy of 0.61 eV.
