During an attempt to crystallize potassium manganese diiron phosphate KMnFe(2)(PO(4))(3) by the flux method, a new phase, potassium dimanganese iron triphosphate, K(0.53)Mn(2.37)Fe(1.24)(PO(4))(3), was isolated. This phase, whose composition was confirmed by ICP analysis, is isotypic with the alluaudite-like phosphates, thus it exhibits the (A2)(A'2)(A1)(A'1)(A''1)(M1)(M2)(2)(PO(4))(3) general formula. The site occupancies led to the following cation distribution: 0.53 K on A'2 (site symmetry 2) ...[more]
