Perovskite iridates have emerged as a new paradigm for studying the strongly correlated electron physics with strong spin-orbit coupling. The "113" alkaline-earth iridates AIrO 3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) display a rich variety of crystallographic and electronic states and are now attracting growing research interest. This chapter aims to provide an overview for these "113" iridates, including the materials' synthesis, crystal structure, major physical properties, and other interesting results such as the effects of pressure and chemical substitutions, as well as theoretical perspectives.
