CsFe(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2} single crystals have been grown by solution-melt crystallization with a charge-to-solvent ratio of 1: 3 (with Cs{sub 2}Mo{sub 3}O{sub 10} used as a solvent). The crystal structure of this compound has been refined by X-ray diffraction (X8 APEX automatic diffractometer, MoK{sub {alpha}} radiation, 356 F(hkl), R = 0.0178). The trigonal unit cell has the following parameters: a = b = 5.6051(2) A, c = 8.0118(4) A, V = 217.985(15) A{sup 3}, Z = 1, {rho}{sub calc} = 3.875 g/cm{sup 3}, and sp. gr. P3-barm1. The structure is composed of alternating layers of FeO{sub 6} octahedra (with MoO{sub 4} tetrahedra attached by sharing vertices) and CsO{sub 12} icosahedra.
