Abstract Powder x-ray diffraction, variable temperature magnetic susceptibility, and zero field Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements were used to characterize the new phase Li2Fe2 (MoO4)3. This material is obtained topochemically simply by the mixing of solutions of lithium iodide in acetonitrile with solid Fe2(MoO4)3 at ambient temperature. Li2Fe2(MoO4)3 possesses the high temperature orthorhombic ferric molybdate $$\begin{gathered} Fe_2 (MoO_4 )_3 + 2LiI\xrightarrow{{CH_3 CN}}Li_2 Fe_2 (MoO_4 )_3 + I_2 \hfill \\ (solid)(solution)(solid)(solution) \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ structure. Guinier photographs were completely indexed in space group Pnca. Magnetic hyperfine splitting of the zero field Mössbauer spectrum below 12.5 K indicates a three-dimensional magnetically ordered state which susceptibility results show to be weakly ferromagnetic owing to probable canting of antiferromagnetically coupled sublattices.
