The temperature behavior of the crystal structure as well as dielectric and magnetic properties of the perovskite bismuth chromate ceramics with the 10 mol % Cr-to-Sc substitution were studied and compared with those of the unmodified compound. Using a high-pressure synthesis, BiCrO and BiCrScO were obtained as metastable perovskite phases which are monoclinic 2/ with the √6 × √2 × √6 superstructure (where is the primitive perovskite unit-cell parameter) under ambient conditions. At room temperature, the unit cell volume of BiCrScO is ∼1.
