A topochemical route to nondefect, three-dimensional perovskites from lamellar Dion-Jacobson and Ruddlesden-Popper precursors was demonstrated. The method involves reduction of one of the ions (in this case Eu 3+ ) in the precursor phase and concomitant loss of oxygen. CsEu 2 Ti 2 NbO 10 , a three-layer Dion-Jacobson compound, was ion-exchanged to AEu 2 Ti 2 NbO 10 (A ) Na, Li) and reduced in hydrogen to form the SrTiO 3 -type perovskites AEu 2 Ti 2 NbO 9 . Similarly, K 2 Eu 2 Ti 3 O 10 , a three-layer Ruddlesden-Popper compound, underwent divalent ion exchange to form the Dion-Jacobson compounds A II Eu 2 Ti 3 O 10 (A II ) Ca, Sr) and M II Eu 2 Ti 3 O 10 (M II ) Ni, Cu, Zn), which were reduced in hydrogen to perovskite-type A II Eu 2 Ti 3 O 9 and M II -Eu 2 Ti 3 O 9 , respectively. The A II and Eu 2+ ions of A II Eu 2 Ti 3 O 9 remain ordered, while A-site disordering occurs in the other perovskites. In all cases, the anisotropic texture of the layered precursors is retained in the product perovskite phase.
