The powder specimen of CuFeO 2 delafossite was synthesized by a hydrothermal method at 453 K. X‐ray diffraction studies confirmed that the obtained pure delafossite phase was a mixture of the 3 R and 2 H polytypes, predominantly the former. Mössbauer spectral analysis revealed the paramagnetic state of the copper ferrite at room temperature. Below 12 K the spectra had complicated shapes of Zeeman sextets. Changes in the character of the hyperfine interactions did not correspond to the data reported for the single‐crystal CuFeO 2 . Magnetization measurements revealed that magnetic transition occurred at Néel temperature ( T N ) = 12.5 K.
