Many other reactions could be illustrated, including the formation of ordered phases with n, stacking of perovskite slabs, ordered stacking of perovskite slabs and brucite-type double hydroxide layers or perovskite blocks with no interlayer cations present. For further information on the stmctural chemistry of these complex reactions, see Further Reading.
