Abstract

Mössbauer spectra of Fe2+Fe3+ and Fe2+Al hydroxycarbonates taken in the paramagnetic state were fitted using two Fe2+ and Fe3+ doublets each. These spectra can be interpreted in terms of an ordered cation arrangement in the pyroaurite-type structure. The inner Fe2+ doublet seems to be the outcome of excess Fe3+ in the samples studied. The outer Fe2+ doublet (quadrupole splitting ∼2·8 mm s−1, FWHM = 0·26 mm s−1) is relatively well-defined and can, together with the fact that this doublet disappears on oxidation, possibly serve to identify these compounds in natural systems.
