Popis: A sample of Bi 25 FeO 39 was synthesized by the molten salts method in 2 h at 750 °C with KCl-KBr as reaction media. The sample was characterized with X-ray powder diffraction and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction confirms that a sillenite type structure with a cell parameter a =10.190(4) A was achieved, with only small traces of Bi 2 O 3 . In order to get a Mossbauer spectrum with a good signal to noise ratio, the synthesis was made using 95% enriched α– 57 Fe 2 O 3 . To our knowledge, this is the first time that a Mossbauer spectrum for the Bi 25 FeO 39 has been recorded. The nonappearance of a magnetic sextet confirms its paramagnetic behavior. The measured Mossbauer parameters (IS=0.20±0.004 mm/s and QS=0.2±0.07 mm/s) correspond to Fe +3 in very symmetric surroundings, and rule out some interpretations given to the doublet observed in some Mossbauer spectra of BiFeO 3 .
