The synthesis of the first 4d transition metal oxide-hydride, LaSr NiRuO H , is prepared via topochemical anion exchange. Neutron diffraction data show that the hydride ions occupy the equatorial anion sites in the host lattice and as a result the Ru and Ni cations are located in a plane containing only hydride ligands, a unique structural feature with obvious parallels to the CuO sheets present in the superconducting cuprates. DFT calculations confirm the presence of S=1/2 Ni and S=0, Ru centers, but neutron diffraction and μSR data show no evidence for long-range magnetic order between the Ni centers down to 1.8 K. The observed weak inter-cation magnetic coupling can be attributed to poor overlap between Ni 3dz2 and H 1s in the super-exchange pathways.

LaSrNiRuO, LaSrNiRuO, and LaSrNiRuO are, respectively, the = ∞, 1, and 2 members of the (LaSr)Sr(NiRu)O compositional series. Reaction with CaH, in the case of the LaSrNiRuO perovskite phases, or Zr oxygen getters in the case of the LaSrNiRuO and LaSrNiRuO Ruddlesden-Popper phases, yields the corresponding topochemically reduced (LaSr)Sr(NiRu)O compounds (LaSrNiRuO, LaSrNiRuO, and LaSrNiRuO), which contain Ni and Ru cations in square-planar coordination sites. The = 1 members of each series (LaSrNiRuO, LaSrNiRuO, and LaSrNiRuO) exhibit insulating ferromagnetic behavior at low temperature, attributable to exchange couplings between the Ni and Ru centers they contain.

Cation ordering in perovskite-derived phases can lead to a wealth of tunable physical properties. Ordering is typically driven by a large difference between the cation size and charge, but many Ruddlesden-Popper phases ABO appear to lack such B-site ordering, even when these differences are present. One such example is the "double" Ruddlesden-Popper = 1 composition LaSrNiRuO.

Hole or electron doping of phases prepared by topochemical reactions (e.g. anion deintercalation or anion-exchange) is extremely challenging as these low-temperature conversion reactions are typically very sensitive to the electron counts of precursor phases.
