30. It has been shown (Ref.) that in fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-order perturbation theories of the crystal-field and spin-spin interactions a small orbital angular momentum and single-ion anisotropy arises.

56. Iron jarosite is in this sense not a unique case. For 3d transition-metal compounds with more than half-filled shells, the effective moments are in general significantly larger than the spin-only moment.
57. Though all Fe-Oeq bond lengths are the same, the equatorial plane is rectangular rather than square, with the short side pointing into the kagome triangles. Furthermore, the Fe-Oap axis is canted by 4° away from the local c′ axis.
