Abstract: Crystal structure parameters of the mixed cobaltite–chromite SmCo$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ in the temperature range of 298–1173 K were derived from in situ high‐resolution X‐ray synchrotron powder diffraction data. Similar to the parent SmCoO$_3$ compound, SmCo$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ reveals anomalous thermal expansion reflected in abnormal temperature dependence of the unit cell dimensions and the selected interatomic distances and angles. These anomalies are associated with temperature induced changes of spin state of Co$^{3+}$ ions and coupled insulator‐metal transition. Observed decreasing behavior of the bandwidth W points on the increasing population of the exited spin states of Co$^{3+}$ ions in SmCo$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ with increasing temperature. First principle calculations revealed antiferromagnetic ground state of SmCo$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ as the most stable.
