Cobalt orthophosphate, Co3(PO4)2, is known to crystallise in the monoclinic system with space group P21/c, unit-cell dimensions a=5.063, b=8.361 and c=8.788 AA, beta =121.0 degrees and Z=2. Susceptibility measurements show the onset of antiferromagnetism at 30.0(3) K and the magnetic structure at 4.2 K has been determined from neutron diffraction measurements on synthetic powder and single-crystal samples. The magnetic structure is commensurate with the chemical unit cell with the magnetic cell doubled along a. The chemical cell contains one twofold and one fourfold site for Co2+ ions, whose moments lie close to b and in a more general direction within the unit cell, respectively. The refined values for the ionic moments are Co1=3.77(10) and Co2=3.49(7) mu B, where Co1 refers to the twofold site. The orientation of the magnetic moments is related to the spin-orbit coupling of the Co2+ ions and the exchange paths in the structure.
