A-site ordered perovskites CaCu3Co4O12 and YCu3Co4O12, and their solid solutions Ca1−xYxCu3Co4O12 (x = 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75), were synthesized under high pressure (9 GPa) and high temperature (1273 K). They all have a CaCu3Ti4O12-type structure (cubic, space group: Im3) and the lattice constant a slightly decreased from 7.1226(5) A of CaCu3Co4O12 to 7.1195(3) A of YCu3Co4O12. Rietveld refinement based on synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction suggests that the valence state of CaCu3Co4O12 is close to CaCu3+3Co3.25+4O12, which differs from those of other CaCu2+3B4+4O12 perovskites. Substitution of Ca with Y at the A-site changes the metallic CaCu3Co4O12 to an insulating YCu3Co4O12, and a metal−insulator transition occurs at x = 0.50−0.75. The electrical resistivity, thermoelectricity, and specific heat results reveal that electrons are doped into the Co 3d band and that the valence state changes from CaCu3+3Co3.25+4O12 to YCu3+3Co3+4O12.
