Abstract

We have successfully prepared the new layered oxypnictides (M=Fe and Co). They adopt the tetragonal structure, being the same as that of . The lattice constants are a=0.4045 nm and c= 0.5802 nm for M=Fe, and a=0.4045 nm and c=1.5695 nm for M=Co, respectively. Their transport and magnetic properties have been systematically studied. The temperature dependence of Hall coefficient and thermoelectric powder for compound show complicated behavior, similar to that of iron-based parent compounds LnOFeAs and . It suggests that the could be considered a new parent compound as iron-based superconductors.
