Title: Dimorphism in iron(II) methylphosphonate: Low-temperature crystal structure and temperature-dependent Mossbauer studies of a new form of the layered weak ferromagnet Fe[(CH{sub 3}PO{sub 3})(H{sub 2}O)]

Abstract

A second form of the literature-known layered weak ferromagnet Fe[(CH{sub 3}PO{sub 3})(H{sub 2}O)] has been isolated. The crystal structure determination of this new form (2) has been carried out at T=300, 200 and 130K. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmn2{sub 1}: a=5.7177(11), b=8.8093(18), c=4.8154(10)A, while form (1) crystallizes in the space group Pna2{sub 1}: a=17.58(2), b=4.814(1), c=5.719(1)A. Moessbauer spectroscopy on form (2) has been performed in the temperature range 4-300K; and, at T{approx}160K, a drastic change in the quadrupole splitting ({delta}E) 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 {delta}E. Below T=25K, {sup 57}Fe spectra transform into hyperfine splitting patterns which reveal a magnetically ordered state in agreement with the results of earlier magnetic susceptibility studies.
