Silver diiron tris(oxomolybdate), a-AgFe 2 (MoO 4) 3 , was synthesized in sealed silica tubes at 1050 K and is isostructural to a-NaFe 2 (MoO 4) 3 , determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (space group PÀ1, a ¼ 6.9320(7) Å, b ¼ 6.9266(6) Å, c ¼ 10.9732(13) Å, a ¼ 81.197(8) , b ¼ 83.456(9) , g ¼ 81.352(8) at 300 K, Z ¼ 2). The crystal structure is built up from both monomers and edge-sharing dimers of [FeO 6 ]octahedra, which are linked with each other by isolated [MoO 4 ]-tetrahedra to a three-dimensional network. Ag ions are situated on a site with four near oxygen neighbours. Thermal expansion is most pronounced along the c-axis, while the angle a decreases with increasing temperature. Antiferromagnetic ordering is indicated by a sharp maximum in the temperature dependence of magnetization at 21.5(5) K, and a magnetic moment of 5.36(1) m B per Fe-ion was derived from the Curie constant in the paramagnetic region. The collinear antiferromagnetic structure with propagation vector k ¼ (0,½,½) and an ordered magnetic moment of 4.62(9) m B per Fe-ion were deduced from neutron powder diffraction data and give evidence for an underlying magnetic interaction mechanism, resulting in rather strong and long-ranged couplings. Mö ssbauer spectroscopy shows a change in the electronic configuration on the two distinct Fe sites between room temperature and 150 K, accompanied by an increase of the average Fe-O distance for one site and a shrinking one for the other as expected for charge ordering in a mixed valence compound with Fe(II) and Fe(III).
