Abstract The hexagonal perovskite-type oxides A x B O 3 ( A =Ca, Sr, Ba; B =Co, Ni) consist of ( B O 3 ) ∞ chains made up of face-sharing B O 6 octahedra and B O 6 trigonal prisms. On the basis of molecular orbital calculations for their structural building blocks we examined why the transition metal atoms in the trigonal prisms of Sr 9/7 NiO 3 and Sr 14/11 CoO 3 occupy the positions away from their trigonal prism centers and why Ba 6/5 NiO 3 and Ca 3/2 CoO 3 exhibit apparently puzzling magnetic properties. Our analysis indicates that the structural building units of the ( B O 3 ) ∞ chains in these oxides adopt high-spin states to reduce the metal–metal σ-antibonding interactions between adjacent metal atoms as well as the on-site repulsion. This finding led us to predict the number of unpaired spins that the oxides Sr 9/7 NiO 3 , Sr 6/5 CoO 3 , and Sr 14/11 CoO 3 are expected to have.
