Several new examples of ferro- and antiferromagnetic organometallic and coordinated compounds have been investigated by means of the temperature-dependent magnetic measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Above 70 K the Cu3 [Fe(CN)6] 2-4H2O compound is ferromagnetic as it obeys the Curie-Weiss experession, χm= C/(T-θ), with θ = 25 K; μeff evalued at 200 K is 4.91 μβ. Below 20 K this compound displays the onset of spontaneous magnetization in zero applied field. Above 10 K the Cu[(bpy>2] 3 [Fe(CN)6] 2.5H2O is also ferromagnetic (θ= 2.5 K). Above 20 K the antiferromagnetic [Fe(C5H4Me)2] + [TCNOJ- (θ= 3.25 K) and [Fe(C5H4Me)2]+[TCNE]- (θ= -3.64 K) obey the Curie-Weiss expression. The e.p.r. and Mössbauer spectra for these compounds have been discussed.
