The iron phosphate minerals satterlyite and gormanite have been investigated by EPR and optical absorption studies. The optical results indicate the presence of ferrous and ferric ions in both minerals. In gormanite the site symmetry of Fe(III) is near octahedral whereas in satterlyite it is tetragonally distorted. On the other hand, the Fe(II) ions are in tetragonally distorted octahedral site in both minerals. In satterlyite the EPR results indicate the presence of the ferric ion in a tetragonally distorted state together with a small percentage of Mn(II). Crystal field (Dq) and interelectronic parameters (B and C) are evaluated.

A new metastable phase, featuring a lithium-stabilized mixed-valence cobalt(II,III) hydroxide phosphate framework, CoLi[(OH)O][(POOH)(PO)], corresponding to the simplified composition CoLi(OH)PO, is prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. Because the pH-dependent formation of other phases such as Co(OH)(POOH) and olivine-type LiCoPO competes in the process, a pH value of 5.0 is crucial for obtaining a single-phase material.
