Popis: A second form of the literature-known layered weak ferromagnet Fe[(CH3PO3)(H2O)] has been isolated. The crystal structure determination of this new form (2) has been carried out at T = 300 , 200 and 130 K. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmn21: a = 5.7177 ( 11 ) , b = 8.8093 ( 18 ) , c = 4.8154 ( 10 ) A , while form (1) crystallizes in the space group Pna21: a = 17.58 ( 2 ) , b = 4.814 ( 1 ) , c = 5.719 ( 1 ) A . Mossbauer spectroscopy on form (2) has been performed in the temperature range 4–300 K; and, at T ∼ 160 K , a drastic change in the quadrupole splitting (ΔE) and a broadening of the doublet components is noticed. But surprisingly, on cooling the crystal, no structural change is observed, which could account for the increase in Δ E . Below T = 25 K , 57Fe spectra transform into hyperfine splitting patterns which reveal a magnetically ordered state in agreement with the results of earlier magnetic susceptibility studies.
