Abstract
Members of the family of mineral vivianite Fe3 (PO4)2 -8H2O, and ludlamite Fe3 (PO4)2 -4H2O involving Co2+ ions have been synthetized. Co3 (PO4)2 -8H2O exhibits an antiferromagnetic ordering at 6.5 K, the nature of the interactions are discussed with respect to its crystal structure. Using hydrothermal conditions tetra and dihydrate were obtained. The ferrimagnetism observed for the tetrahydrate may be related to the ludlamite structure. A spin-flop is observed for the dihydrate at a critical field of 1 kG.
