✦ Synopsis
FeP 3 SiO 11 has been prepared by solid state reaction of Fe(PO 3 ) 3 and SiO 2 at 9003C under vacuum. This compound is isotypic with RuP 3 SiO 11 and the atomic coordinates have been re5ned by the Rietveld method. The unit cell is trigonal, space group R-3c, with a ؍ 8.2896(9) A > , c ؍ 39.054(4) A > , and Z ؍ 12. The structure is characterized by isolated FeO 6 octahedra connected by bent P 2 O 7 groups (1263) while Si 2 O 7 units only share corners with P 2 O 7 units. Neutron di4raction study shows that FeP 3 SiO 11 is antiferromagnetic with a NeH el temperature T N ؍ 3.5 K. In this compound, the magnetic interactions arise only from Fe}O}P}O}Fe superexchange mechanism. The magnetic structure is characterized by a stacking of antiferromagnetic (001) layers of double FeO 6 octahedra sheets, with the spin perpendicular to the c-axis. The room temperature MoK ssbauer spectrum is characteristic of the Fe 3؉ valence state. The magnetic interactions are discussed.
