The regularities of impact heterovalent substitutions of atoms A- and B-positions on the slab perovskite-like structure of An+1BnO3n+1 type compounds were determined based on the analysis of structure Sr2-xLnxBIV1-xBIIIxO4 and Sr3-xLnxBIV2-xBIIIxO7 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, BIII = In, Sc, BIV = Ti, Sn) types ompounds and phases. It was established that the inclusion of REE and indium atoms in the single- and double-slab structures of compounds Srn+1BIVnO3n+1 leads to increase the degree of  interblockpolyhedra AO9 and octahedra BO6 deformation and a decrease the distance between adjacent perovskite-like blocks. Increase the degree of deformation of AO9interblockpolyhedra leads to increase in the tension in the interblock slab of Sr2-xLnxBIV1-xInxO4 and Sr3-xLnxBIV2-xInxO7 slab perovskite-like structure and the reduction of the distance between the two-dimensional perovskite-like blocks brings the structure of their two-dimensional slab perovskite-like structure closer to the structure of thermodynamically much more stable three-dimensional structures. The simultaneous combined action of these factors gradually destabilizes the slab perovskite-like structure and limits the region of its existence in the Sr2-xLnxBIV1-xInxO4 and Sr3-xLnxBIV2-xInxO7 series (in particular, it explains the absence of SrNdInO4 and SrLn2In2O7 (Ln = La – Sm) with slab perovskite-like structure). The significant influence of heterovalent substitution of atoms in slab perovskite-like structure of An+1BnO3n+1 type compounds on the structure of newly formed phases provides grounds for using this type of substitution for further targeted regulation of structure-sensitive properties of materials based on An+1BnO3n+1 type compounds with slab perovskite-like structure.
