Popis: We have investigated the influence of oxygen excess on structural and physical properties of the Nd2NiO4+δ compounds. Using the citrate method and subsequent annealing in air and in a reducing atmosphere a various oxygen-doped compounds were prepared. X-ray diffraction at room temperature shows that structure is strongly oxygen excess dependent. Thus, by increasing δ by up to 0.077, the compounds adopt a tetragonal structure gradually with a biphasic domain between orthorhombic and tetragonal structures. And at higher δ values, the structure becomes orthorhombic. Moreover, Rietveld analysis shows that for δ
