La(0.8)A'0.2MnO3+delta (A'=Sr, Ba, K, Cs) perovskites were studied by tempe
rature-programmed reduction. The amount of non-stoichiometric oxygen was fo
und to decrease from delta =0.16 for LaMnO3+delta to delta =0.07 (Sr-), 0.0
6 (Ba-), 0.07 (K-) and 0.03 (Cs-) substituted manganites. The reducibility
at low and mean-temperatures (t < 500 degreesC) increased in the sequence L
