In this paper, we present the results of structural and magnetic phase comparisons of the iron oxychalcogenides La₂O₂Fe₂OM₂ (M = S, Se). Elastic neutron scattering reveals that $$M$$ = S and Se have similar nuclear structures at room and low temperatures. Both materials obtain antiferromagnetic ordering at a Neel temperature $$T_{N}$$ 90.1 $$\pm$$ 0.16 K and 107.2 $$\pm$$ 0.06 K for $$M$$ = Se and S, respectively. The magnetic arrangements of $$M$$ = S, Se are obtained through Rietveld refinement and we present the first direct comparison of magnetic structural analysis for these materials. We find the order parameter exponent $$\beta$$ to be 0.129 $$\pm$$ 0.006 for $$M$$ = Se and 0.133 $$\pm$$ 0.007 for $$M$$ = S. Each of these values is near the Ising symmetry value of 1/8. Lastly, this suggests that although lattice and electronic structural modifications result from chalcogen exchange, the nature of the magnetic interactions is similar in these materials.
