The possibility of a zigzag type instability occurring for oxygen atoms in B-O-B, B-O-Nb, Nb-O-Nb linear chains is examined in disordered mixed perovskite compounds Pb(B1/3,Nb2/3)O3 (B=Mg, Zn, Cd). Local adiabatic potentials for oxygen atoms are studied using total energy calculations by ab initio Hartree-Fock + MP2 method for many-atomic clusters with different oxygen surroundings of lead atoms. The effect of lattice relaxation along the chain on a shape of the local potential in the transverse direction for the central oxygen atom is considered.
