X‐band (≈9.5 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of the VO 2+ ion are carried out on a single crystal of the Tutton salt Fe(NH 4 ) 2 (SO 4 ) 2 · 6H 2 O (FASH) at 295, 80, and 4.2 K. The data indicate two physically‐equivalent VO 2+ sites in the unit cell, each consisting of three magneticallyinequivalent VO 2+ ions. The principal values and direction cosines of the principal axes of the g 2 and A 2 tensors are evaluated, using a least‐squares‐fitting program. An impurity [VO(H 2 O) 5 ] 2+ complex model of the vanadyl ion is found to explain the data well. The V 4+ O 2− bond directions for the VO 2+ ions are deduced. The VO 2+ Fe 2+ exchange‐interaction constant in FASH is estimated. The host‐ion (Fe 2+ ) spin‐lattice relaxation time is estimated from VO 2+ EPR linewidth.
