X-ray powder-diffraction data were collected for a new iron phosphate, Fe(PO4)·0.5H2O, obtained by reducing FePO4 with oxalic acid at 220 °C in the presence of water vapor and oxygen. The crystal system was determined to be orthorhombic with unit-cell parameters a=15.991(6) Å, b=20.156(7) Å, and c=7.223(2) Å.
