In this paper, we study connections between the π-Baer condition and related conditions such as the Baer, quasi-Baer and π-extending conditions. The 2-by-2 generalized triangular and the n-by-n triangular π-Baer matrix rings are characterized. Also, we prove that a n-by-n full matrix ring over a π-Baer ring is a π-Baer ring. In contrast to the Baer condition, it is shown that the π-Baer condition transfers from a base ring to many of its polynomial extensions. Examples are provided to illustrate and delimit our results.
