We report the synthesis of a new strontium ruthenium oxycarbonate, Sr2
RuO4 . 0.25 CO2, and its use to synthesize Sr3Ru2O7, the n = 2 member
of the (SrO)(n+1) (RuO2)(n) Ruddlesden-Popper series. Like layered K2N
iF4-type Sr2RuO4, and three-dimensional perovskite-type SrRuO3, Sr3Ru2
O7 is a metallic conductor. In Sr3Ru2O7, the magnetic moments (d(4), l
ow spin) interact weakly with each other and develop strong antiferrom
agnetic correlations below 15 K. Small substitutions of Ir for Ru in S
r3Ru2O7 result in a metal-insulator transition. (C) 1995 Academic Pres
