The n = 3 and n = 5 members of the homologous series Srn-1,Cun+1O2n have been synthesised by a high-pressure, high-temperature technique and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and electron microscopy as well as EDS microanalysis. The solubility range of Sr4-xNdxCu6O10 solid solution was found to be
