The rare earth complex oxides with different types have been synthesiz
ed. Their structures and electric properties have been investigated. A
ccording to our experimental results, the effects of the outest shell
electronic configuration, electron spin state, electron transport path
and formation of cluster on the electric properties of rare earth com
plex oxides have been summarized. When the electrons in the outest she
ll of the central metallic ion are unpair, and the outest shell is not
half-filled, the electric conductibilities of these compounds are bet
ter, If there is a -M-X-M-X- or -M-M-M- (the distances between two ato
ms <0.31 nm) continuous electron transport path, and the electron conf
igurations of the central metallic ion conform to the above condition,
then the electric conductibilities are good, The isolate cluster can
not become the continuous electron transport path, therefore, the form
ation of the isolate cluster will reduce the conductibility.
