Abstract
The optical (energy level scheme) and magnetic properties (paramagnetic sus ceptibility as a function of the temperature and g values) of the polycryst alline Co0.5Ti2(PO4)(3) mere simultaneously reproduced by use of a crystal field theory involving a set of F-k, zeta, free ion, and B-q(k) crystal fie ld parameters. The crystal field parameters calculated from the structure a re in fair agreement with the experimental ones and permit us to assign R32 as the space group of the crystal structure.
