We report a comprehensive investigation of(, Pr, Nd) using thermodynamic and transport properties, neutron powder diffraction, resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the role of A-site cations on the magnetic interactions in this family of hybridcompositions. Magnetic structure determination using neutron diffraction reveals antiferromagnetism for, a collinear ferrimagnetic Ni and Ir state that is driven to long-range antiferromagnetism upon the onset of Nd ordering in, and a noncollinear ferrimagnetic Ni and Ir sublattice interpenetrated by a ferromagnetic Pr lattice for. For, heat-capacity results reveal the presence of two independent magnetic sublattices, and transport resistivity indicates insulating behavior and a conduction pathway that is thermally mediated. A first principles DFT calculation elucidates the existence of the two independent magnetic sublattices withinand offers insight into the behavior inand. Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering is consistent with spin-orbit coupling splitting themanifold of octahedralinto aandstate for all members of the series considered.
