✦ Synopsis

The zero-field splitting parameters (ZFSPs) for an Fe 3+ centre in single-crystal diammonium indium pentachloride monohydrate ((NH 4 ) 2 InCl 5 •H 2 O; DIPM) are calculated using perturbation formulae and crystal-field parameters from the superposition model. The calculated second-order axial and rhombic ZFSPs at the In 3+ site turn out to be similar to those obtained from experiments. This supports the notion that the Fe 3+ impurity substitutes for the In 3+ ion in DIPM.
